Images

This post consists of all the images i am going to use in my magazine. I took them in a range of different places so that i had a wide range of choice about what i could write about. I have took three images of my friend who i asked and agreed to get in to poses that i need. In two of the photos he was wearing headphones to look as though he is djing in a live club. The third image is of facing away from the camera point to the left. This image can be used in lots of different ways to create effect in my magazine. My fourth image of a professional female DJ, performing in a popular club in Brighton. My fifth image is of a dance floor, which i also took in a club in Brighton.

This is going to be my main image for my front cover. it is of my friend looking like he i behind the decks in a popular club. i have done this by getting him to put on a pair headphones at a house party and placing his hands in line with his waist. I cropped out the lower part of his body because there actually is no decks, so putting his arms like this creates the effect of him actually using the equipment. I edited this image to black and white because his face was not as clear if i left it with full colour. The only problem with this image is the writing on his shirt. If i were to leave this lettering on it may look like a main sales on my front magazine and confuse my reader. To overcome this i am going to have to cover the lettering by using functions on adobe photo shop.

My second image is going to be used as a image on either my contents or double page spread. i took this image of the same person using equipment that i managed to get hold of by borrowing it off another friend. i wanted an image of the DJ looking as though he had been djing all night. I created this effect by simply getting my friend to pose straight after he had attended football training. I am going to need to cut out the background in order to blend the photo into the theme colour of my page. If i were not to cut him out of the background the image would be square, looking UN-professional.

This photo is the same person that posed in my previous photos. It is of him pointing towards the ceiling looking down at his fingers. I can use this image in a variety of different ways, one of these could be cutting him out of the background and having his fingers pointing towards an important article or piece of text. I would cut him out off of the background using photo shop. The only problem I'll have with this is that the colour of the chair is the same as his top, which could cause difficulty when using the magnetic tool.

This photo is of an actual DJ. I took this photo in a venue in Brighton were the customers can get reasonably close to the set. This was perfect for me because i could get get up close to the DJ and get a clear picture. But it took me a considerably long time to get this image because i kept getting jogged by people dancing. i am going to use this image as an extra in my magazine using the image as a free pull out poster. I am going to edit the image by darkening the background and adding a range of different neon colours in each three segments of the image.

This image is also taken from a club in Brighton. It is a photo of the main dance stage full of people dancing. I took this image by standing on the raised platform that is located more towards the back of the venue. i am going to use this image as the main image on my double- page spread. I got the inspiration for the page that i looked at from 'mix mag' which also consists of a large image of a dance set. This image is not going to need to be edited, as it is already bright, therefore catching the readers eye wanting them to read the article on the left hand side.
