On friday i finally put the two photos together. I first had to decide where the best place would be to put the student. I decided that the bottom left corner would be the best place to put it because it looked empty. I then had to decide where to put the St Edmunds crest. I decided that the top left corner would be best as it also looked empty and all there was, was sky. The last thing i had to decide was where to put the title. I chose to put the title next to the crest in the sky so that i would fill more of the empty sky and look nice in contrast to the crest. The colour i chose for the title was dark blue which is also the St Edmunds college colour.
On thursday i spent an hour on editing the pictures slightly. To edit the photos i used a different software called Iphoto (mac). I changed the temperature of the chapel picture because the picture look gloomy and cold, so i decided to make it look more like summer so it would give it a warm feeling. I also straightened so the picture would level out and look balanced. The last thing i did to the picture was crop it so that most of the cars at the front of the school were out of the picture. If there were still cars in the picture is would make it look less attractive so this is why i decided to crop it.
For the student picture is used photoshop. I cropped the photo so it would only focus on the students face and the book. Then i used the magic wand tool to highlight the remaining unnecessary background and then erased it so it would only leave the student and the book.
I uploaded the 24 pictures i took last week of students and the school. Out of these pictures a picture of a chapel was the one that caught my eye. It got my attention because when looking at the picture it conveys to me (and the audience that will see the front page cover) that this is school respects religion and usually parents find religious school also are very dedicated to their education as well. The other picture i selected was of a student reading a book. The reason i chose this, was because it shows the student at work which shows hard working. Also the student has a gentle smile which can show that as well as hard work the student can enjoy himself also. All these little details of the pictures make a big difference to what the parents might feel about this school and these were the conventions i was trying to create.
