Diary Entry 4

One comment in my teacher analysis was that I needed a close up of my artist, Vita Wardle. Over the weekend I took more photos and eventually chose to include two of them in my magazine.In the lesson time I had to edit these photos and make them look as though they are from a professional shoot. I chose to use a blank background for the close ups as I have a range of scenery in my other photos of the artist. Once I had chosen which photographs I was to use, I edited them so that the background was white and they blended into the white background of my article.


As well as these close ups I took some photographs in an plant area to use for the 'album cover' I have made for my artist. Once choosing which photograph to use I edited it to a sepia colour and made the edges darker, adding an old look to the photograph. This makes your eyes focus on the face in the middle of the picture, and then the white writing stands out against the dark colours of the photograph.


After adding these photographs to my article, a much needed move around of my Double Page Spread was in order. I decided to move the title and the placing of the album cover. I moved the album cover to the bottom of the article so that it would be the last thing that the reader would read, having a lasting impact. After moving the title to only go on the photograph page, there was a large gap at the top of my article side of the page. To fill this space I included a 'The TMN Interview' to add to the importance of the article in the magazine.
