construction of front cover

sample for Magazine

The reason why I chose this issue of Vibe magazine as my sample for my Front cover is because I like how the mast head is vibrant and bold also I like how the artist is the main focus on the from cover. Also the reason why I chose this contents page from Vibe magazine as my inspiration is because I like the layer of the columns. The reason why I chose this DPS as my sample is because i like how one whole page is covered with the image which is the main focus and the text is on the second page.

Magazine front cover layout

Introduction to the Studio.

Introduction to the Studio.

There are two different backdrops which are white and black backdrops. Also we were told not to have peers hanging around in the backdrop as this would look unprofessional in the pictures.

Trinity flash lights

• Fans rotating in the lights
• Soft boxing covering the light as its too bright 
• They defuse and soften the light

Also we should take images from different angles to have a variety of different pictures.

Make sure the camera settings are always set on 3 as the max is 6. The flash is brighter as the settings go higher. Also we must remember to get images from different angles to gain the best shot of the models. The Back light and reflectors are good for creating certain definitions on the face.

Also we have to make sure to be careful with the GODOX soft brand as the light system has small bulb that can easily crack if it is not dealt with properly which is underneath the cover.
Also the 'beep' sound represents that the camera is on Auto Focus. The view finder is too see the shot in more detail also this makes it easier to zoom in or out.
