work 21 nov

did some work on my contents page today, I am thinking of adding a strip of images next to the main cover photo as the bigger I make it, the worse the quality becomes which I don't want. just need to add some more contents to the special features section too

website second page progress

 

I have started on my second website page with a thrift guide, using a map to help my audience find the nearest thrift shops to them. I was also thinking of including a 'how to spot a fake vintage tag' section as well, but this idea may change 

30s video first draft

here is what I have done so far for my 30s video, clips and stuff are likely to be edited slightly, the video is slightly laggy on blogger as well so the clips appear to be out of time with the music.

worked more/ edited my front covers. started my contents page. need to figure out which photos and subheadings I will use but both will look similar to keep brand identity and cohesive

classwork 14 oct

 

worked more on my first front cover, added cover lines which are subject to change but this is what I finished with today. will likely change the font of her name. I will make her name the subject instead of 'back in fashion' so will edit that next.
started on my  potential second front cover, the colour, position and content of the text is likely to change but I was just experimenting with these today. I may change this to a headshot once I have some better ones but I don't mind this for now.
some updates to my website, again there are likely to be changes made and more photos added of my second magazine and model but this is the rough vibe I am going for on these pages.

more screenshots from my website, images used will likely changed but are just filling the gaps currently while I find some that fit better.

INTERTEXTUAL REFERENCES




Brad Pitt and his “need money for Porsche” shirt. #bydefilemagazine

I have referenced this image of Brad Pitt with his 'need money for Porsche' shirt in my second magazine 


REFERENCE TO 'MID 90'S' MOVIE 

Jonah Hill's Mid90s Can Only Skate on the Surface | Vanity Fair
(unfinished front cover) 'back to the mid 90s' in cover lines. posing and costume looks like the movie and this reference was picked up by classmates 





classwork 7oct


 edited the background of this image to remove the road as much as possible and the fence from behind the trees. also made image a lot brighter as seen below:

classwork 2 oct


experimented with a different front cover design as I am struggling to place text around the other one due to the position of her arms. I don't like this photo as much but still tested it as a possible alternative. 


I decided to restart my website as I was finding the preset design of the other template difficult to customise how I wanted it.

 increased brightness of image and gave text an outline, there are some issues with shadows from where I cut my model out to put her in front of my masthead so will have to try and solve that issue.

nea work 10 sept

 




I made image brighter and tried and tested fonts to add models name. I will need to reshoot photos to make them brighter and change models hand positioning so it is easier for me to add text around my model.

nea work 9 September

 

I tested out fonts for my masthead and chose my first front cover. 

nea photo footage






 here are my first shoot photos, when shooting I recorded a video and took screenshots from this of the stills I liked, this is why there are less images of some settings than others.
