Depth of Field- One pat of the image is sharp and the other sides or background gradually gets less sharp like it is out of focus. This is emphasizing the subject and de-emphasizing the foreground and background.
Composition- Composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements. So its how you position an object or person when you take a picture. This can give a 3-D effect and also emphasize certain objects you want to stand out.
Rule of Thirds- Imagine an image split up into equal squares, You look at parts of the image to find more interesting photos which reates a better effect, rather then taking a normal portrait mid-shot.
I have taken several pictures using the rule of thirds:
-Image Manipulation-
Cropping- Cutting off unwanted parts of an image to focus the main section you want.
Layers- Layers can be used to bring more than one image onto another. Each seperate layer can be effected without effecting the others. You can experiment with manipulation to bring the images together.
Background- The background of an image isnt really necessary so on my magazine cover i blured mine to get the student to be the main focus. It is like depth of field. Also the background can be cut or cropped out so somthing else can be in the background.
Adjusting Colour- I have used colour adjusting on the magazine front cover, this is so the colours remian bright and vibrant to attract attention.
-Planning a Product-
When i planned my school magazine cover and contents pages i drew a basic layout on paper first. Not just one but several designs to see which one looked the best. After i selected my design i drew it up again this time adding text and picture to give a drawn outline of the images.
Then i made another basic design of Page Plus and several more to get my finished product.
