draft DPS



This is my first draft for my DPS . As you can see the background is different for the photo and the article. I think that this looks scruffy and un professional. therefore I made the changes that you can see below. 







These were my next drafts. As you can see i changed the back ground of the article to match the photo. I think that this looks more professional, it shows that the colour is continuous threw out the DPS.







This was my third draft. I added the black box to see if it would make my breakout box more visible. after I had done this I decided that I did not like it so removed it.







This is my final DPS. I changed the colour of my breakout box to black and white so that it looked brighter instead of being really dark and gloomy.
 I also added the pink to the left side of my DPS. I think that this makes the colours flow continuously throughout as it is now on every page.

final front cover and DPS


This is my finished front cover. When making this cover i realised that i had to use a trail and error method to work out what looked good and bad. Once i had decided what content i wanted on my magazine i had to decide where i wanted to place the text and extra photo. This meant i had to move a lot of things around until i got the desired look that i wanted for my magazine. 



 


This is my double page spread. When doing this i used a trial and error method again. This consisted of changing colours font sizes/ positions and breakout boxes. I continued to use the colours from my front cover threw to my double page spread. I think that this adds continuity to my magazine making it look more professional.
 


front cover photos

These two images were my practice shots. As you can see they are quite dull and the white back ground looks dirty and brown. once i had looked at these shots i came tot the conclusion that i was not achiving the look that i required for my magazine so i changed the lighting to make my photos brighter. the outcome of the lighting change is shown in the photos below. 














































These were two of my static photos. I got my model to stand facing the camera with a wide smile. I think these photos came out well because my model looks happy and the photos came out in good quality with the lighting that I required. 




















these are two of my action shot photos. I quickly realised that catching the moving object at the right time was very important when taking a successful photo.

progress. week 1



this is the text that i will be putting in my breakout box.
this is a short fitness plan to get rid of saddle bags, this will go at the bottom of my double page spread on the same side as my photo. 


Breakout box.
Saddle bags:
This is the extra weight that is being carried on the hips and outer thighs. This can be caused by a poor diet, stress, hormonal imbalances, and toxins.
THE CURE:
A good quality diet and regular exercise is the best thing for getting rid of saddle bag fat. The following exercises will help to reduce unwanted fatty deposits in the hips and outer thighs.
Cardiovascular training exercises:
Power walking, hill sprints, cycling and Thai boxing are very beneficial for burning un wanted fat.
Side-lying hip abduction: (also known as side leg lifts)
1.     Start by lying on your side with hips stacked  and raise your legs as high as it will go without letting your hips role back
2.     As you get stronger you can rest a dumbbell on your thigh or use ankle weights to increase tension.
Side lunges: these strengthen your abductors as well as challenging your core
1.     Standing with legs shoulder width apart, step the right foot out to the side. Once the foot is planted on the floor flex the hip and knee shifting your weight over to your right foot.
2.     Push your weight back up, shifting the foot back to the start position.
3.     Repeat with the left foot.
