School Magazine Contents Page Reserach




 

  I like the layout  of  this contents,it is horizontal rather than vertical.There is an editors letter,featured on this contents,which is a feature that has not been featured on the other contents pages.The image on the top of the page is huge in comparison to other photographs on the page to emphasize that it is the main article.There are other pictures present that are small in comparison to emphasize that they are insignificant articles in comparison.There is also a colour scheme or red,white and black and yellow which uses a wider range of colours in comparison to the other contents pages I have looked at.


This contents page has both a horizontal and a vertical format.The colour scheme is red,white and blue.There are only two pictures featured in this contents page,the first picture featured on the top of the page is very large to emphasise that this the main feature of the magazine.The other photograph present is much smaller in order to demonstrate that the feature is of less significance.The contents table is fairly long in order because there is a lack of pictures featured.

 


This contents page is very bland and bare the colour scheme is simple with red and black being the only colours present all of the pages featured are numbered which doesn't allow the reader to know what to focus on.

This contents page again has a strict colour scheme of black and yellow so that it doesn't look over whelming.This is a lot more interesting than the contents page below. Photographs are featured on  this contents page  a that have the number pages featured on them,this gives the reader a generalisation of what the article is to include,and it also shows the reader what they need to focus their attention on.This is also backed up with the contents table it self it does not feature all the pages in the magazine,again only on what they what the reader to focus on.I have decided to base my final contents page page on this contents page layout.

  

School Magazine Photoshoot

I think that the large computer, draws attention from the people in the photograph.The distractions in the background make the photograph look slightly cluttered and busy.There needs to be a dress code put in place,so that the people look like they relate to one another, therefore fitting in with my theme of  ethnic unity.I think in future I will make sure everyone wears different coloured t-shirts,this will highlight the message I am trying to convey,and it will also contrast with the dark colours in the background making the people sand out.At the moment,everyone is wearing dark colours and are in a sense blending in to the background.The camera is also slightly out of focus,so in order to improve this I would hold the camera steadier,set the camera on a tripod or use a better camera.

I do not like this photograph at all  there is not enough light present in the shot therefore causing there to be no real sense of definition on the people's facial features.The fact the girl has her hair covering her face,makes the photograph look really awkward because you can't fully see who she is.The text book they are reading needs some light reflected away from it,because it has become,  too shiny and overly bright.I could improve the lighting quality by holding a sheet of white paper just besides each of there faces in order to reflect enough so that every one and everything is clearly seen.

I used camera flash in the photograph causing the  photograph  be to bright  and shiny  and blurry,instead I could of incorporated natural  light,by taking the photograph in an area in the library that was well lit.

This photograph is unclear and out of focus,there is not enough  presence of light and the computer in far too large taking the glory away from the people in the photograph.

Again there is poor lighting quality,the composition I believe is not very good and the  people do not actually seem to be reading the book but instead staring mindlessly at it,so I need some more interaction present with the props to make the photograph come across as believable.

The camera has zoomed too far  out,so  that you can just about make out the image of the people,it also makes it difficult to know what to focus on,as there are too many background distractions are present.

I know this photograph is not amazingly brilliant,but with this photograph,I am beginning to see some  thought behind it.The composition is more organised,there is a glimmer of decent lighting present;this could be improved as I mentioned before,if the people  were wearing bright colours this would help them to stand out and  I could also make use of the natural light present in the room. I also need to mix up the arrangement of the people,the mixed raced girl and the white boy are positioned together as are the two black kids.Evidently,I need to mix up the composition so it at least looks like there is more racial diversity, present.I could also improve the focus of my photograph.
