Photoshoot Background

Reasons I Want a Plain Background!!

- The White Background will be easier to edit on
- The Background wont have anything in the way, like if i was in the street people, dogs or scruffy walls wont be in the way
- I Can Produce Better Editing On a Plain Background

Location for My Photoshoot

My Photo-shoot will be on the Promenade located in Wallasey, I Chose this Location because the background will be of the Liverpool Skyline. I am hoping that the sky will have a nice colour so it helps make the background stand out more.

Banners

This is my slide about Banners. The magazine uses a banner to show what the magazine is called it is like a masthead, they also colour co-ordinate the magazine so the text stands out, example such as black and white.

Mastheads

My Two Magazines

These are the two magazines I am using for my presentation. I have chose these magazine because they have various conventions, such as a masthead, banner, main image and a lead. The magazines use a lot of colour to. The Indie magazine uses dull and blank colours and the RnB magazine uses bright and fun colours
