Making my front cover- 3


Making my front cover- 2


Making my front cover- 1


Chosen two page spread photos




Chosen Front cover photos


I have only used one image on my front cover and this is the one I have chosen. The dark colours in the background fit with my chosen genre which is Rock. The colours of the clothing the model is wearing also fits well with my genre as they are also quite rocky and dark.
The natural lighting in this image is quite bright but works well around the models face and doesn't wash the model out. I think overall, this image fits well with my magazine.

Photos I'm not using

 The lighting in this photo is bad and the model is not looking into the camera.

The lighting is also bad in this photo and the model is positioned at the side of the photo and is not looking into the camera.
 
 The lighting in this image is terrible as shadows are caused by trees which are placed behind the photographer. The model was also not ready for this photo to be taken and is facing the wrong way.
 

 
 The model is facing the wrong way, this wont be able to be used on the front cover of the magazine.

Locations i have not chosen


Finding the location is very Important when taking photos. The lighting has to be effective and also the location has to be appropriate for the chosen genre of my magazine. These three photos don't go with the genre of my magazine so wont be being used for my cover.

The importance of interactivity

A simple example can illustrate this point. Picture this: 2 shopping stores are right next to each other. However, one attracts more customers than the other although both have the same goods. This is only because of one reason. The one shop that attracts more customers uses the concept of interaction with people. This is in terms of consumer suggestions, attractive offers, contests and displays. The whole scenario draws people as the overall environment makes a customer feel more comfortable.
In terms of web design, the concept can work in the same manner. The trick lies in a subtle use of web interactions to attract users and cause them to engage on a page.
Here, we can take another example. A radio button or hyperlinks are elements of a web interface. Contrast these with a 3Dimensional Cube or a 3Dimensional Flip Book, both being examples of interactivity. They are complete experiences of doing stuff that engages users with web pages whilst the user is going through the information displayed on the website. This is what makes these examples stand out. The use of inter-activities woven very creatively with website content makes them successful in capturing user-attention. (1)
