   Okay sooo, for my feature spread I am going to do an interview of all three girls featured in the cover since for W magazine the feature article always is about the people on the cover. . I am actually excited to write this because I get to write about me and my friends and I get to make us anyone I want us to be in the fashion world. I do not know If I should include writing on both pages, and instead have one page that is a photo and the next one has the text or not. I am most likely going to keep the background of the pages white, since W magazine does that and many more fashion magazines. I want to include the color of the masthead somewhere on my feature spread, so I think I will include it on the title of the article and quotes from the people interviewed. The hardest thing right now is not the writing, but I do not know what pictures to pick from allll those photos we took. I know that most of the pictures will be of either all three of us or us in pairs so tha...

I THINK I DID IT!!! I finally have a cover for my magazine, and yes I am using the photo that I had originally wanted to use which is fun, The picture still is not the greatest quality, but it is way better than it was before seeing as how before it was pix-elated and now it is not. For my cover I went the more simplistic way with not much anchorage that surrounds it, because the magazine W for the most part has rather simple covers with a a beautiful image, the names of the people featured, and the type of issue it is. I chose mine to be an art issue, due to how W magazine has art issues and I am an artist so, it made sense to me. The Editing: I managed to not have to change the background on Photoshop, due to how it transferred well on InDesign. The editing I did do though is that I lowered the brightness through my regular camera settings. I felt the need not to use  a filter because with the bright light source in the back the photo originally has like a faded filter look alr...

   Hey!! SO I finally have been able to start with my cover. (My pictures were not downloading or sending to my email, but after a few days I got it to send and already have all my images downloaded to my computer). I am doing fashion so I am hoping this cover will look very professional and sleek like other fashion magazines, including the one I did my research on (W magazine) . I plan to not use much anchorage that will over populate the cover page since I see many magazines, like W or Dazed, which use very little and leave the main focus on the image portrayed. I have also drawn some sketches of my cover.    I finally decided that for my cover page I would like to include all three of us ( me and my two friends), because that way I could then use all those pictures where 2 plus people are featured. It has been a struggle though. The picture which I want to use comes out a bit foggy due to the glare of the sun in the back and as much as I edit it on Photoshop o...

SO...the photo shoot has happened. My friends came over at 2 and we all got ready and dressed to go outside and begin taking pictures. All the outfits had been laid out on my bed and the makeup went all on my dining table (Shout out to my friends for bringing their own makeup, because I did not have any makeup for them). What I was most nervous about was  the weather since I was scared it could rain, but thankfully it was sunny the whole day up to sundown. We took the photos with my phone and in pictures where all three of us were shown we put a timer setting on the camera so it could capture the picture without needing someone else to come and take them.  All of the pictures were taken outside while the sun was still out, since I did not want no flash photography. The Pictures:   We took pictures in every single corner of my building, in the blank walls, by the fence, out on the street. We  ended up taking 486 pictures and finished the whole photo shoot at 6. We ...
