Mast head for magazine

In this I used Photoshop to create my mast head plan for my magazine I'm creating I decided to call it "Perfection" as the double page spread I am doing is about the perfect image. I decided to use the colour pink

Making the magazine

I first had to choose which photograph would be the best to fit the magazine and the style of the article. I decided when I was doing the Photo-shoot that I was going to do two different types of shoot. One of the girl showing the pain she goes through with the words she gets called written all over her apart from one word which is inspirational word. The other shoot is the one I chose to be on the front cover, I decided to make an inspirational image to influence the victims to be themselves.

Article Introduction

Article- The perfect image

What is the perfect Image???

I was thinking the other day about being back at school and college and how I use to be bullied because I didn’t have the perfect image. At the time of being at college I didn’t have the best body (I’ll admit that) but I wasn’t a “whale” in fact looking back now I wouldn’t even class myself fat but that didn’t seem to matter to the humans who were born to pick the worse bits of you out. I found out that almost HALF of all teenagers are bullied at school- with most of them being us girls. I decide I wanted to find out what the perfect image was and what was the creation of this monster of an image.

My introduction to my magazine article is an anecdote as it is a story of  the writer and his/her view on the perfect image. I did this because the target audience is young women and it will help them communicate and engage with the article. 

shutter speed

Fast shutter speed

Slow shutter speed

Shutter speed captures different movement, whether it's a fast shutter speed, which captures and freezes what is happening when you pressed the button or whether it is slow shutter speed which captures the the movement of the moving thing.
For fast shutter speed I used 1/60th of a second and freeze the falling water (top photo). The problem with fast shutter speed (and it is seen in the top photo) was that since the lens isn't open for that long was that not a lot of light comes in so the images come out quite dark. To solve those problems I would use Photoshop to brighten the images.
For slow shutter speed I used 10-30 seconds to capture the movement of a light in a dark room and the shape it creates (bottom photo). The problem with slow shutter speed is judging the time needed to capture the movement and that you can't see what is happening while the photo is being taken so it's hard to see if the whole image is being captured.
