6. Q3.
I rejected this
photo because I rejected this photo I rejected this
there was not because the lighting photo because the
enough room for was wrong and the picture was took at Whilst I liked the
columns. star was in a bad a bad angle and scenery
position. would not fit on the surrounding the star
page properly. it wasn’t the right
shot type. The scarf
around the neck
made the star look
too childish.
Luckily I did have some pictures set aside in case of this
situation, this is the picture I used in the end.
7. Q2.
I chose my colour
scheme to be Neon
Green, Purple, Black and
White. I wanted a
definitive range of colours
that blended well but
stand out on there own.
I wanted the title to stand
out, and to create my
brand identity so using
neon green and black I
created my masthead.
The font is called ‘Mostwasted’.
To make the masthead look professional, I
made the words 30% transparent.
8. Q2.
These colours represent different
things. Neon Green stands out
and shows confidence and
attitude. Purple can appeal to both
genders and I have aimed this
magazine at both genders – and
shows the aura of the publication.
White stands out on the page and
blends well with black.
My genre relates to having
attitude and getting your
voice heard – these
colours do that.
9. When shown to the class, they gave
me some constructive criticism:
•The star needs to stand out more
•Needs to be brighter
•There’s too much going on, on the
page
•Shift everything left – maybe by
doing each letter individually
•Need a better quality photo
Overall I was given a Level 3/ 4 for
my work.
10. This is a better picture because
there is room for columns and the
star is central which makes them the
main focus.
The star looks like a rock star and
has the attitude of a rock star.
11. Q3.
I rejected these photos because they did not reflect my genre – the star
did not look like a rock star.
These pictures do not allow many columns and do not reflect the
genre I was trying to get across.
12. When shown to the
class, they gave me
some constructive
criticism:
•The features are not
in columns – looks
unprofessional.
•The star does not
look like a rock star.
13. This is a better
picture because it
relates to music
because of the
guitar.
The features are in
columns which
makes the page look
more professional.
14. Q3.
I rejected this image
Even though the
because of the lack of
image suits the
quality lighting – it
genre, there is no
does not relate to the
eye contact which
genre.
would not engage
the reader.
This is a good, full
bodied shot but it
would mean I have to
crop the guitar off
because the floor is
showing.
15. This is my first draft
of my DPS.
Through audience
feedback, I was told
that the main image
is covered too much
by text, the drop
cap is in the wrong
place and I don’t
need the extra
pictures on the
second page.
16. I have made the main
image fill the whole of
the first page so the
audience know she is
who we are talking
about.
I have moved the
drop cap to the main
body of text.
I have added an
arrow to show the
reader that the article
continues over the
page.
