Colour Scheme

Although still undecided on my colour scheme, I began creating my music magazine front page with an open mind. I wanted my magazine to be unique, and so I thought using red in the colour scheme was a bit predictable, as it is the main colour of Q magazine, which has been my main influence. Once I'd chosen the image for my front page, I realised that I could use the purple of my sitter's shirt as the colour scheme, so everything would tie in on the front page. Though I was a bit apprehensive due to my survey showing that purple was the 1st option for only 3 of the respondents (blue being the first option chosen by 14 people), I am hoping that my target audience will warm to the colour once they have seen the finished product. My decided colour scheme was black, white and purple (with bits of grey due to the colour of the background). I liked this colour scheme because I don't think purple can be stereotyped as a typical girls or boys colour - as it is a mix of both of red and blue - resulting in the appeal of a wider audience.

Photo/Editing Powerpoint

When I was not taking photos in locations outside of school, I was using the studio:

The studio is available for all students to use, equipped with tripod, lights, umbrella, and reflector (which is not in the photo above). When taking my photos, I used all of these pieces of equipment to enhance the quality of my pictures. In particular, I altered the aperture setting on the camera and the intensity of the lights to make sure that the light didn't create any shadows on my model.
