Evaluation of magazine photos

Planning photo.I have thought about my photo for my front cover and contents page

and I believe that it would be beneficial to plan what I would like my photo to be like, what image I want the photo to send out. And also

what I want it to represent. I shall test out the lighting in various areas in the school such as the library and the green room in the photography department.

I will be using a sixth form student whose lanyard will be presented, also a year 11 student in their school uniform. I shall be having them sat at chairs on looking on computer

screens with educational books surrounding the desk.

The other area which I shall test is the same exact student looking at a book and smiling standing next to and leaning on a pod wall in the ICT department. The message which I want to be portrayed

throughout the image I take is a happy, motivated environment which is exciting and full of enjoyment also I would like to show that the faculties and facilities at our school are

excellent with a wide variety. I would like to also send out the image that our school in open to any religion, race and sex.

I decided to choose photo one as my front cover as I thought the lighting was good, and it caught the readers eye as the two girls were looking at the camera and smiling showing how they enjoy media and the facilities Titus Salt School has to offer.

Photo 2.I decided not to use photo two as both girl were looking at the screens and not giving eye contact to the camera and the reader, therefore the reader can not tell their expression and opinion of the facilities and how they enjoy their work.

Contents page photo. Photo one.I choose too use this photo for my contents page as I believed it was eye catching and bold due too the bright colours of the cosmopolitan sign against the white wall and posts.

I decided not to use photo two as it wasn’t focused and had unnecessary background objects, such as the bin and floor space.

Also the colours aren't as bright and eye catching in this photo.

This photo also wasn’t suitable as it is far to bright due to the lighting and flash from the camera.

Photo two.

Photo for my contents page.

Photo 1

I decided not to use this photo for my contents page as the it was to bright and didn’t clearly show the work in which the student was creating.

Photo 2

I choose to use this photo for my contents page as I believed it clearly showed what type of work is created by Titus salt school sixth form students. Due to the light and angle working well together.
