14th Feb

This week I completed the photo-shoot for my final article.
I experimented a lot in this photo shoot. I changed my height and the angle at which i took the photo and held the camera. The photo above was my successful photo and this was the one i chose to use for my double page spread. I chose to make this image fill one whole page as i thought it was a really strong image.
Although this was not the photo I planned to take in my photo shoot plans, i decided that it was the strongest image. The problem I cam across when adding this image to my DPS was I didn't know what to fit it as in my flat plan I created, I imagined that my photo would be able to be cut out so i could wrap text around it. This meant I had to rearrange the majority of my DPS to use the image I liked the most.

This week I completed photo-shoots for 2 of my 3 articles. I was really pleased with the outcome.
The 1st, for my 'Bag That Job!" article.
 The 2nd, for the 'Dating Disasters' article.
Both photo shoots went really well. I used white backdrops for them both as I later cut away the background. I used butterfly lighting on both. 
This week I had already made the titles for my two pages and had started to piece together my layout so these photo shoots helped me to complete them before i had scheduled. 
A problem I came across this week was my InDesign document corrupted meaning my work wouldn't open but we managed to recover an earlier version so not all of my work was lost.
