THE PHOTOSHOOT!!!!!

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 did 3 outfit changes each and took a break after the second outfit change for about 20 minutes. We got to home so tired. I knew this going to be a long process, but never did I imagine it would leave us so dead. Nonetheless, I had the funnest time and so did they. THIS is something I have always wanted to do and I am so passionate about design and art so getting the opportunity to do something like this was so exiting to me. Also having all my ideas come to life right before my eyes was the coolest thing ever and I am truly pleased with how the photos all came out and my friends even told me we should do this again. Now the hardest thing has been choosing between the wide range of photos and poses I have. I have narrowed it down to 77 images, but still do not know which photos are going to go where in my magazine. I am conflicted on whether for the cover I use a picture including all three of us or our individual photos, but we will see.

Here are some of the photos taken on the shoot:

FINAL PRODUCT: MUSE

Image
FINALLY!!!!! Everything is done and I could not be happier with the results. This process has been a a very long one, but I have learned a lot along the way. I bettered my skill in the editing realm using applications such as, Photoshop, InDesign, and Facetune. I found out what it is like to run a photo shoot and how it is not as glamorous as it seems. Nothing throughout the making of this magazine was easy, but it was all very rewarding to see the final product and watch it all come together as I put each piece together. Overall, this was a very fun project that I enjoyed doing and the magazine looks just how I pictured it.  COVER:  TABLE OF CONTENTS: FEATURE SPREAD:

Table of Contents Plan:

Image
  For my table of contents I feel it will be easier... I hope. When I did my research on W magazine I noticed that their table of contents is usually two pages, so that is what I will be doing. I also will not use much images, due to how table of contents in fashion images usually have 1-4 images. The headlines I will use are going to be similar to the ones W magazine uses ( Fashion + Features, Who"s Next, What's Hot, Beauty, and Departments). What goes under these headlines will be typical things that magazines feature. For instance, " Top 10 accessories" or " "Latest Trends". I plan to include the credits for who took the pictures for each "page" I place on the table of contents. I do not want to make random names or use the same name for each "photographer" so I will use my friends name, since I think they have been so helpful during this process, in the sense that they have helped me narrow down some of my ideas, and I greatly a...

Table of Contents

   I finished my table of contents!!! I honestly thought this would be the easiest, but somehow I managed to take so long trying to make everything look right.I began with laying out the boxes on InDesign of where the photos will be placed and then input my headlines. I then began coming up with more titles to go under the headers other than the ones I already had in mind ( mentioned in my table of contents planning post) . Once I had everything set up I input the pictures and the writing and began just trying to make it proportional and look aesthetic. For the editing in my photos, I did the same process as I did for the images on my feature spread ( Used VSCO to make the images all work together and look cohesive, by adding a filter,changing the brightness, ad grain). I noticed that fashion magazines tend to include the month the issue is from so I included the date over the title, in a different font to differ it from the serif fonts that takes over the whole magazine. I ma...
