Planning Photo Shoot Part Two


Crew
My team for picture taking will be me and my mother. She would drive me around the city and also keep her eyes out for strays. She would also drive me to homes of pet owners. She can also take me to pet shops. She has already started aiding me with my magazine, as I had to ask and explain to her why I needed her to take a picture of a cat on the grass as we were picking up groceries. To a lesser extent, my friends would help me get pictures by helping me prepare shots with their own pets.

Post Processing
I do not have experience editing, but today's modern technology allows me to tinker with contrast, colors, etc. I think I prefer leaving the pictures unedited, however, to show the blatant truth. I will not make a picture of a starving cat look cute with filters. This is what these animals look like, do something if you want it took look nicer. If anything, I have a friend that was trained in Photoshop, and he can assist me by teaching me how to improve shots.

Types of Shots
I would mainly want close ups to see the details of the animals. So you can see the damage that neglect has done on this stray dog. To see the vibrant, healthy color of this loved puppy. I would try to get shots from a higher angle for strays, to symbolize how we look down upon these animals, and do not give them the attention they need. For pets, I would mix the shots depending on the setting. Maybe eye level shots when they are with certain props. Maybe lower angle shots to reflect a playful nature. These are all dependent on the scenarios that I am encountered with.

Codes and Conventions of Catster and Dogster

The conventions and codes of a magazine are the signs with meaning and the accepted way of making it. My partner and I did sister magazines, Dogster and Catster, to precisely analyze these techniques. In doing so, we aimed to find techniques that we could apply to our own magazines. In terms of the cover, both magazines had an enlarged photo of a single animal (dependent on whether it is Catster or Dogster) towards the center. These visually tell viewers that the magazine will be about taking care of animals. We would keep this as it depicts purpose and theme in a simple manner, and it is also visually appealing. Catser's mastheads go for a serif font, and so does Dogster. The effect of such a font is evoking formality, but the style of the text is jovial at the same time. This means that it will be very enjoyable and pleasant to read, so we would both mimic this in our own work. For Catster, 2/3 of the issues has the main image (the animal) going over the masthead. Dogster only

Completed Table of Contents Discussion Part Two

The journey of production lasted quite a long time, as I would add more and more to my spread overtime. This piece took the longest to create out of all the magazine features. My planning transferred to a clean transition into actual production, as I struggled less with design since it was pre-planned. I used a sense of branding by using techniques that made for a more visually-appealing magazine table of contents that would appeal to my audiences. Having this picture of Kisses is sure to garner attention out of cuteness. Having gradients makes for a prettier spread and makes it better for focus. Thus, cuteness, interest, and awareness to bring out positive change to the lives of many dogs and cats. Several tools were implemented to create my final product. I used Walsworth to plan layouts for my spread, allowing for digital planning. Adobe InDesign was primarily used to bring out the plans to life as this platform provided many tools for deign. I used Photoshop as well to heighte
