start of making my contents page

Screen shot 1 : i started by using a photoshop brush for the background. i used the same collection of corrugated steel brushes that i used on the front cover. i did this because i wanted the two to flow together and not look like they were from two separate magazines. i changed the brush diameter to 2500 and filled 3/4 of the page so i lined up the same brush in a separate layer to attach the two together.

Screenshot 2: this is the image i used for my editorial picture. i simply used photo booth and dragged the photo into photoshop. i cropped in down to look more like a portrait image as it was a landscape image. the background also looks like an office environment so it would fit with the context of the image.

screenshot 3: this was the photo i chose to go onto my contents page. i chose it because it was in black and white and i wanted it to balance out with the other colour pictures on the page. i like the lighting of the picture and it picks up onto detail which would be as defined in colour. i will cover up my watermark on the product as this wouldn't look very professional.

screen shot 4: this is the full scale image of the editorial picture i took of myself.

screenshot 5: this is from the shoot i did on my model. i liked this shot because of the shadows across his face. i like the way it shows his aggression. i wanted to use a guitar in a different way from just using a guitar strap.
