My Eighth Mistake

With this blog I intend to be caught up will all my work thus far.

To start of with I have analysed the actual school prospectus, and once again found that a lot of thought goes into every detail of the front cover, such as the colour scheme the angle of the shots, what was shown in the shots etc.

Here is my analysed front cover of the school prospectus.

Sorry It's upside down.

After doing my own front cover of a school prospectus I then did a contents page for the school prospectus and since the actual school prospectus doesn’t have a contents page I had to work independently on this one.

I kept to the St. Marks house style and here is how it turned out.   

My Seventh Mistake

My mistake in this was that I had previously forgotten to post this part of my work up because I was too busy helping other people upload their pictures to their blogs.
Anyway we learned about the theory of the production of magazines.
You have to take a lot of things into consideration and you also have to know that every little detail on the magazine cover has been put there for a reason. It was our task to identify those reason on two different magazines under the theme of education to compare and contrast the elements used on the magazine cover. 
Here are the two magazine covers I annotated and analyzed.

Apologizes for rotation of images.  

My Sixth Mistake

I have made a big mistake on this one and that being I forgot to blog about something my teacher had told me to blog about earlier which will mean I will have to work backwards for a while and then continue forward before Friday's lesson. 
I was asked to make a school prospectus for St. Marks, that alone can stand to be difficult seeing how I really have no Idea what I'm doing on photoshop half the time. Another reason this will pose a challenge will be that I will have to explain why I chose the camera angles and font, so I can't just blindly and randomly take pictures and hope it all works out for the best, I need to really think as to why this would be the best choice for the job. 

With the completion of my school prospectus I will explain my reasons for what I chose. 

Firstly, I chose the background image of 3 students because of what can be seen from the picture and what it represents. That being part of St. Marks school will mean that you will not be alone and there will always be help there for you should you need it. Also as represented by the student looking off into space, you can be unsure of what future career path you wish to taken, because this is a place where you can discover that in this school.


Secondly, the center image was chosen for a few reasons one of them being it ties in very well with a previous point made about always being able to find help at St. Marks. Also this picture portrays the meaning well with no ambiguity. The low angle makes the people look powerful and says that education gives you power. The lighting is bright and clear much like the futures of young people at St. Marks, the connotation is learning , sharing, helping all in this Sixth Form.


Finally, I chose the font because it keeps within the house style of St. Marks as Times New Roman looking font, this keep it consistent and also gives it a professional look and feel to it. I then embossed the font and dropped a shadow behind it because it look very plain and dull before this edit was made, I did it so it would add more aesthetic beauty to the overall look. I then added the school logo to the right side of the prospectus.
