Working on Magazine Cover

 Magazine Cover Assignment: (Marks 20) 






















The magazine cover requires you to take a vertical photo that is at a very high quality, and using photoshop you are to create the cover of a magazine. I should be able to look at the cover of your magazine and think it is a real magazine. Please save on the M drive /under chase 2022/ Asem2photo11/12/magazine cover. Also save a copy in your own files. Please     save as a jpg and a Photoshop file in case you need to make any changes.

Criteria: Please try to complete for Friday. We will be moving on to the next assignment on Mon.

  • bar code
  • coordinating colour
  • clear, verticle  photo
  • 3 sets of text with page numbers drawing the reader in
  • text size is appropriate
  • looks visually pleasing and is sized properly
  • looks like a real magazine cover
When finished start to do some research on advertising to get ready for next week's assignment.


Product Shoot

PART A: Product shots:10 shots. You are to choose a product to shoot and you are to take 10 different shots of your product. Try to mix it up a little…take shots of people using your product, take inside shots on clean backgrounds, take you product outside to shoot…lots of experimentation. Upload all 10 shots under a folder called PRODUCT SHOOT.

Magazine ad PART B: After you have completed the 10 shots , you are to choose the best 2 shots and create an ad which will be saved under the product shoot folder. Your 2 good ads should be titled FINAL ad #1 and FINAL ad #2.

Criteria for this assignment: PART A: Photos should show experimentation, varied background and evidence of trying to showcase the product at its best. Not all shots have to be perfect, since I am marking your process in this assignment. However I do not want all shots to look the same.


PART B: Product should be the focus of the ad, shot is clear, lighting effects work, logo or slogan is included in the ad, and most importantly looks professional…like an ad I would see in a magazine.
