Thumbnail Sheet and Images Used




These are a collection of images I have taken to feature in my Magazine Cover and contents page. I have chosen to stick to the theme of lockers, and have thus experimented different ways to incorporate various objects into the theme. I have experimented with things such as lighting, distance and how much a person is in the shot. For example, I first had only had a persons hands and their books in the shot, which was originally going to be my main image. However, after receiving feedback and learning more about the conventions of a good magazine, I realised that having a whole person in the image would show a greater understanding. I also took a variety of other photos consisting of various things around the school. Well known objects such as the school computers, the Apple Macs and the honours board are all things people instantly recognise, making them ideal to feature in my contents page. All of these photographs are of a documentary style. This meant that, through a pose, I was able to create a sense of what typically happens at the school.




IMAGES USED




Main Image

This was the image I decided to use in my final front cover. I feel that this picture instantly symbolises school life and a hard working atmosphere. The inclusion of lockers also sticks to the theme I intended to use, as lockers are common throughout all schools and are easily identifiable. The inclusion of a person, I feel, follows the conventions of a typical magazine cover. By following this convention I feel that my magazine is more likely to entice audiences.





       



Contents Page

These are the two images I used in my contents page. They consist of  a school computer in the LRC, and a school honours board. Both of these images are widely recognisable throughout the school, which is why I felt they were appropriate to feature in my contents page. They are subtle images, but really emphasis the school and a working atmosphere it strives for.
