Model


Since I'm doing a feature on an artist, I decided to use the said artist on the cover of my magazine to attract the fan base and rouse the curiosity of others. I've decided to use my good friend and preliminary magazine cover task model, Emil Husnain as the model for my final task yet again. The reason for this decision are many. Other than being co operative with my ideas, Emil and I have great working chemistry, making the shoot go smoothly and the end result something we can both admire. She's exceptionally talented at makeup and I believe can produce the look I want for my magazine cover, minimizing  any extra expenses. Her style varies. While one day she'll be rocking double denim, another she'll be doned in all pastels, essentially looking good in everything (probably even in a paper bag). Her ability to pull off any type of style and her naturally photogenic appearance also play a role in my decision.

"The Beginning is Always Today" Forlorn, a girl stares out the window, unseeing. This world bores her. So she makes a new one. And then another. And another. And another. And another. That girl is me. Today marks the birth and creation of my blog which's purpose is to keep a record of the progress I've made on my foundation portfolio. Being seventeen and deeply intoxicated with the art of story telling and sharing said stories with the masses through a medium which brings us all together, taking Media Studies in my A levels was a natural choice.  Along with Psychology, Literature in English and History, it evolves my understanding of people and aids me in my aspiration of telling an exciting tale; mine. I look forward to telling you more about my project as it progresses and myself.  Keep reading!

Refined Content Page Despite being done with the content page, I decided it wouldn't hurt to look over it and see what can be done to spazz things up a bit. Once I looked it over I decided that despite the colourful pictures it looked a little bland so I made a few improvements. I thought it would be better to introduce a little more uniformity and so I made the first three columns equal in size. Naturally, the next step was to adjust all the elements on the content page accordingly. I did this with the help of the transformation tool (Ctrl T). I felt my content page could be improved with a splash of colour so I used the rectangle tool to make a long red rectangle in accordance with the magazine's colour scheme, the size of the right most column. I dragged this layer under all the others. I removed the ellipses from the heading of the content page and turned all the textual elements white so they would stand out against the red background. Fin...

Experimenting with Lighting Today's Media class was refreshingly different. Instead of spinning on our chairs, tapping away on our laptops or listening to a lecture, we took a trip to the auditorium to practice our hand at lighting to take the perfect picture for our magazine cover. We took turns holding and adjusting the angle of the reflector and the key light (an industrial LED lamp) or "Hollywooding" it, according to the video we watched before we ventured to the auditorium. We all took turns taking pictures and alternating between being the models for our peer's camera. Amongst shared fistfuls of 'Cocomo' and one miniature water bottle, we managed to click quite a few pictures, varing in shots and angles. We also played with coloured lighting, wrapping coloured cellophane paper over the LED lamp to create these shades and even a mix of hues. My Media Sir taught me how to take pictures in low key lighting since I will be using that in my final picture....
