Production Diary #13

I have recently completed my contact sheet. I finalised some of the images from the contact sheet, edited it on Adobe Photoshop by using the spot healing tool to dissolve any blemishes or spots on the model's face, the burn tool on the model's eyes and lips which enhances their features. For some of the images I had also removed the background to make the model the subject of the image and to highlight the importance of the artist on the magazine page. Once I finished editing the images on Photoshop, I saved them as a jpeg. File and transferred them to my magazine. I used a range of different pictures to see what would suit my magazine best. I also adjusted the magazine dramatically to fit the theme of the picture. As a result, I have successfully completed my front cover, the contents page and both my double page spreads. However, I am looking to add an additional double page spread where the artist answers exclusive twitter questions from fans.

Contact Sheet 2

This is my final outdoor shoot. I had to provide an additional shoot to my indoor shoot to employ a range of various pictures to make my magazine more appealing and interesting. The setting of the outdoor pictures were at the skate park and in the woods, it was raining which reinforces the characterisation of 'Cecile Rose' the way she is created to portray in the magazine. Also, I took a few indoor pictures in my bedroom where Megan (the model) is made to look like she is writing her songs in her diary. This creates a personal connection with the reader and adds a exclusivity to the article, as her bedroom is in her home as if the audience is looking into her private life, behind-the-scenes.
