THE STUDY

Photo shoot plan for TOC

Evaluation of the pictures I have chosen for my Table of contents

This picture is for the cover line: 10 ways to cope with exam stress – I thought it was a good picture to use because it shows someone's reaction to their exam results and is related to the stress of doing revision and then getting the end result.

This picture is for the cover line : Ashleigh talks how she coped with it all. I wanted this picture just to be a medium shot of her and her smiling to show that she is happy.

These pictures are for the cover line: 6th form fashion and trends. I wanted there to be 3 different looks so I a glamorous look, a sophisticated look and a ballerina look. These are to reflect what trends are like in 6th form.

Pictures I did not select

Why I didn't use those pictures

The pictures on the previous slide are the ones that I decided not to use. Some of the pictures are blurry and therefore aren't good to use and also some look unprofessional such as the one where Ashleigh is in the ballerina clothes and the picture looks very casual and didn't suit the tone of the magazine. Another reason I didn't choose these pictures is because some were taken when the model wasn't ready and therefore again they didn't turn out professional. Lastly some of them I got unwanted props in the background or didn't catch the whole body of the model that I wanted.

Final TOC

Final TOC

Feedback + Good images+ themed the articles

-Needs a background colour- Drop shadow on page numbers

The feedback I got was useful because for the criticisms I tried to adjust my TOC to what the feedback said however I found that a white background suited it more and with a coloured background I concluded that it looked too packed and there was too much going on especially because there was quite a bit of writing.

The drop shadows on the page numbers I tried out but because of the font it didn't look right and I thought the numbers were easier to see without the drop shadows.
