Photography

In the planning of making my magazine, I had to decide what photographs I wanted to include in my magazine and why. I took a handful of photos and then had to decide if I wanted to include them in the magazine or not. 

This is a picture that I took of myself. I like how I am positioned in the picture, and think my hair and make-up looks good. My appearance was a big factor for me, as all it is the image that pulls people to the magazine.
I decided to use this as my main image because I think that with be

This is another image that I was debating on using for my main image. 
I decided not to use this image as I didn't particularly like how my head was positioned. I preferred my other image as my face was more visible and clearer for the audience to see. 

This was also another image I considered to have for my front cover. However, I came to the conclusion that the colour top I was wearing, doesn't match my colour scheme. Therefore I didn't want to have it for my main image. 

This is an image I used on my contents page, it is of my friend and I. I used this image to link it to 'Niamh's Exclusive Interview'. By using this image, I think it informs the reader that the interview will be looking into Niamh's personal life as well as her 'famous' one. 













These are two images I took when there was a firework display. With these two pictures, I have incorporated them into to my contents page by saying that there was a music event taking place 'Firework Night'. With adding these images it makes the magazine more interesting as it makes the reader want to find out how to participate in the event. 

This is another image that I took and incorporated it into the magazine by casing it as an event that you could take part in 'Country Communion'. Again, by doing this it makes the magazine appear more interesting. 

This was a image I was going to add to my DPS, however I decided not to as I changed my article and the image wouldn't have fit in. 

Similarly, I was going to add this to my DPS, but it mix well with the article. 

This was a picture of myself that I was going to use on my DPS, however I didn't like the lighting so decided not to. Along with the lighting, I felt like you couldn't see my face very well.

Finally, I chose this picture of myself to have as the dominant image (only image) in my DPS. I was going to keep all three of us in the picture, but felt it looked better with just myself as the article was about 'Niamh'. 
I therefore used my photoshop skills to cut out the picture so that only I was visible for the reader to see.
