Isobel Ward Media Studies

Here are my prototypes for my website pages. The web address is  https://wardisobel3.wixsite.com/mysite - Unseen images and stories will be displayed on my website to offer more than developed stories. - Navigation bar with other link pages to different styles of articles - Comment section, share button to formulate audience opinions similar to 'free press' - Media cross convergence through the usage of brand colour scheme being seen online and on my contents. - Developed categories to have a wide range of topics for all audiences - Different range of portrayed images via different camera angles and shot to create developed meanings- all will be unseen with each new edition - Large amount of audience interactivity from sending in real life stories- all topics and genres - Audience featured photographs each week as a form of competition. - Audio and visual content like 'funny' clips to be submitted from my target audience making it appealing to the prosumer. - In a photo...

 

This would of linked the political aspect of my current affairs magazine. If I could of gotten out I would of taken a picture outside of a hospital or a wall in a busy town where there has been relevant NHS graffiti which I could of used in my magazine. These two images would of linked in to closed businesses or an original photograph of people shopping. I also would of gone out to a restaurant and take a similar set up with natural lighting to match one of my articles in the magazine. If I had the time I would of arranged a friend of family member to recreate a similar image so it would give representation in my magazine for sexuality.  

This is the photo I was going to experiment with layer masks. I chose a second photo that i would like to layer on top of the main image. I made sure my first photo wasn't sitting on my background, so I added another layer to edit with, Using the quick selection tool, I highlighted the blue face mask, I refined my selection by adding and subtracting if I didn't get the selection accurate first time. After the mask was accurately selected. I added a layer mask. I brought in the second image and placed it over my original. I inverted the layer mask by pressing Ctrl I and therefore the 2nd photo shows up behind the original. In the future id used this to replace a background for a model on a magazine- or to create a text wrap around the image. Personally the outcome of this layer mask doesn't work so well but I know how to use this effectively in the future. Id also continue editing this picture to be eventually used for my Issue 1.
