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.
