My Visual Logbook

Bringing skin tones closer together, increased warmth and orange hue on the left image, and also simply retouched the top of her head on the right hand image.

I have known for a while that I wanted to make an editorial to present my final work for BA2b.
Rather than produce a zine containing more than one editorial, I have chosen to produce a 12 page magazine size print, with the idea that it would fit into the publication in the 'reality check' editorial section. The magazine I have aimed it at is Vogue, simply because I really like their editorial style and the way their lay out their images.
The words I chose to go alongside my images I took from the editorials already published, alternating them slighting to fit my images but ultimately keeping as much as I could the same. Both me and the design for publishing student agreed that this was better than just adding placeholder text for contextual purposes. The words and title were taken from the May 2017 British Vogue. The design for publishing student also took inspiration from the editorial design of the publication, and adding my name in each page was a design element I really liked and wanted to include in my own.

This is my final editorial ready to print today. I am so happy with the final outcome, seeing it put together looking very professional. I definitely chose the right person to collaborate, we worked really well together, The process involved sending files to and fro, which although wasn't ideal, meant neither one of us felt too pressured, and we were both quick at replying. If there was anything I didn't like, I felt comfortable enough to mention it and asked for something a little different. Choosing a design for publishing student to work with over a graphic communication or graphic design was the best decision as editorial is what they do, and seeing my own images in her own magazine was very rewarding and showed me how good things can look when its your specific area of expertise.

I have tried and tested my website on both desktop and mobile view. I optimised my site for mobile viewing because this will primarily be where most people would view my website before looking on a desktop.

I really like Ed Ruscha's photography, and his typography style, but the lack of colour I always found quite boring and although I could appreciate his compositional style, the images didn't do much for me. I find his compositional style similar to Edward Hopper, very considered and structured.

I love the colour of his paintings, and the geometric aspect all the main shapes are so straight. The use of leading lines in all of the images take you to across the canvas, I also really like the colour palettes of all three, the bold colours of the first and last, with crisp blue sky, but also the muted purple but still a pop of yellow.
