Editing final picture with photoshop (on slideshow)

Editing the Pictures with Photoshop

Organizing photographs to be taken of my model Ruta, in various locations, such as: modern nature for example on a bench with vegetation and greener seen and at a plain background to bring focus to the model.


















DPS conventions and experimenting with layouts

Double page spread layout  ideas and planning

Conventions of a double paged spread.

-columned text 
- clear font
-quote from article as header
- page numbers in corner
- one main body image 
-clean layout 
- simple, plain background (to be able to read text off)
- use of colour scheme
- eye catching photography




All three double paged spreads that look very similar, and use the same layout however are effective in different ways. The quotes are bold and stands out in the middle of the article, which attract the audiences's attention, therefore it would have to be memorable and encourage the audience to  want to read the rest of the article.
