Monday 20th October

This weekend i went to my location to take some photos and see if it would work for what i want to do.
I chose St Brelades beach in Jersey.

Friday 17th October

For my locations i have started looking at different locations around Jersey.
I especially liked the beaches in Jersey they are beautiful and i could do a lot of different shots and angles with them.

This is Plemont beach i like this beach because of the rocks and i could do a lot with them and do different shots and levels with my actors.
There are things i have to consider with using the beach like the tides and weather.
I would like to use this for my two page spread possibly.
For my front cover i am considering just a plain white background with quite bright clothing to show off the fashion side of my magazine.

Thursday 16th October

This lesson i have started looking at magazine covers and started thinking about my final front cover. I am going to start looking at locations and actors for this and sketch my ideas of what i would like my layout to look at. Since using Adobe Photoshop i have developed to use photoshop correctly i will continue using photoshop on my final piece.

Wednesday 8th October

This lesson i have done my front page for my preliminary exercise i used the inspiration of the original Jersey College for Girls magazine. It is always very simple and catches the eye of the reader.

I used a medium close up shot of a classmate as the front cover with her becoming head girl of 2008.I liked the backdrop of the photo it is very simple but quite colour full with the trees. I preferred using an actual student for the front cover i think it links to the whole magazine as the magazine is about students. I gave the magazine a bar code even though the usual magazine is free. I wanted to see how to place so that it no very noticeable. 

Monday 6th October

For the past few lessons i have been working on my preliminary exercise for my magazine. I first went around the school taking shots of different students in classes and around the school working.
I selected a few photos to use in my contents page. I used another contents page. 

I chose to write CONTENTS quite bold and have the bold red line running across i think it is very eye catching and simple.   

I curved the edges of the photos to give it a more professional look and used a simple font for the page numbers.
