Magazine Idea

+

Overview

You will be using what you learned about portrait photography to have a photo shoot yourself (using your friend to help you shoot) for the cover of a magazine that you will create in Photoshop. This is a very important assignment and may carry extra weight.

Here are some past examples and from a previous year & the archives. Also look at some of the grading samples.

Since Pinterest is social media, make sure you are responsible with your search and the way you use it. Do not work on this assignment in other classes, only in class or outside of school.

In a comment in Schoology, you will type the following:

1. Magazine Genre: Examples
2. Specific clothes & accessories to wear: Bring clothes from home and match the magazine genre. This is the most important one of the list in order to make the magazine look realistic. You may not use a YISS uniform although pants are fine to use if appropriate to your magazine topic.
3. Prop(s): You must use have to have at least one appropriate prop that coordinates with your clothes and genre
4. Date: Sign up on the Magazine Portrait Schedule and do not edit anyone else's time slots (all your spreadsheet edits are recorded in the spreadsheet history).
5. Lighting: View the studio lighting video and decide what type of lighting you want on your subject's face and type the numbers and description. Find a photo on the Internet that shows the type of studio lighting on a model's face that you would like to try and match.
6. Take a screenshot of only their face and you will need to Explain how you plan to position your lighting in the class studio and the strenght/power of each of your light of your key, fill light, & strobe.

8. Photo Example: Sign up for https://www.pinterest.com and pin at least five examples for your photo pose and style. Find at least one wide and one medium shot each. Then pin at least three front cover magazines that will give you good ideas on how to do the style of text and title and pin them to the same pinterest wall.
9. In a previous assignment you were suppose to download the Google Photos app on your phone to back up your photos. Go to the app on your phone, click on Assistant (bottom left) and back up your photos. Then in the app click on Photos and take a screenshot that shows that the photos were backed up. Be prepared to show Mr. Heil in class that your photos are backed up with the Google Photo App.

Date: Email Julie the day/time you would like to shoot your subject and she will reserve that time on the spreadsheet to take the photo(one, two, three)Attach a photo showing a full body pose & medium shot pose that you will shoot; for example if you were going to shoot Male Fashion then you could search through Pintrest of these examples and take screenshots of two poses that you will try and take and part of your grade will be how well you emulate the poses. You don't have to use these two poses for your final magazine cover as you should experiment and take a variety of other shots. Make sure you photograph a mix of three different poses when you shoot that differ from the Internet images.

Contact your model and work out a time when you can take the photo in the computer lab.

If you want to take photos during one of your study halls, you can do that.

Review the magazine directions and talk with your magazine model to arrange a 15-minute time slot to take your photos in the HS comptuer lab using the strobe lights and apply what you have learned about using a DSLR camera and lighting.
