School magazine cover

In groups of two we were set the the task of designing and creating a school magazine cover and a contents page. Our criteria included a mid shot and 3 or 4 pieces of usefull text. We took a range of pictures of a girl in year 11 that we wanted to feature on our front cover. We chose to use Rachel as our model as she is very photogenic and would attract a lot of readers. Majororie Ferguson identifdied four different types of facial expression, Rachel is showing the 'siper-smiler' look. She has a wide smile, her head thrusted forward and her hair is very brushed back. This is very inviting for someone about to read the magazine. Trevor Millum also derived the same theory of what emotion they are trying to portray. Rachel looks very 'carefree' as she looks vibrant, very healthy and looks as if she is always smiling and grinning. We chose this picture as our final photo ...


We edited her picture in adobe photoshop, changing the brightness and contrast, so we could highlight her features to make her picture stand out more. This task took us a couple of lessons and was quite easy to complete. This task has helped to boost my skills on photoshop and i now have more experience using this program which i can apply to other tasks.
