Constructing my magazine

After looking on tips and ideas on how to construct a magazine we started using cameras and taking photos for our front covers for our college magazine. We were only to use our own material and not to use any pictures from the internet or that other people had taken. We learnt about the: frames, shutter speed, balance and juxtapostion, rules of thirdsand angles.

We learnt about different photographers such as Helmut newton and David Bailey as this showed us how they postioned their models and how this helped to distinguis there shots. It showed us how it influences compemenpary fashion. It also helped us to decide what front cover we could do and gave us some inspiration.

We then did a magazine analysis of the prompts: technical, how it is presented on the page, Symbolic, do the colours represent anything and do the signify anything ? Written, does the writing have an ambigious meaning or does the master head signify anything? And does the overall layout and stlye aim to attrackt he reader.
