oooo I'm all shook up!

 Here are my final images in the order I want them displayed. I decided to go with the layout I like in AnOther magazine which I mentioned in a previous blog post as I think i's an interesting way to display landscape images and I think it also makes them stand out more. I have added credits in the style of AnOther to make it really fit in to my chosen publication. I am pleased with how my images turned out and I think my research backs up my direction and narrative. I found this brief challenging as it was still life and was very unsure where I could take it but I am happy with the work I produced and think it fits the brief well.

Shake up your style

I decided to create a title page for my editorial. I used the shot of the strawberry milkshake and then brightened it but making sure the background wasn't too white, as I still want some depth. Then using the font 'Futura' I thought of a name for my editorial 'All Shook Up' and and added the tagline "Shake up your style this season' I wanted to keep it simple so that it was in keeping with AnOther magazine and I think it achieved that as well as linking to my editorial.

Typeface

While researching AnOther Magazine I came across a website that told me all about the fonts AnOther used. A lot of them were hand drawn by graphic designers but the main ones were based on Futura, which the magazine has used also. I really like the clean cut of this font and how it was minimalistic as I felt that is what I will need for my shoot credits, nothing fancy just something simple to enhance the images and not take anything away from them.

AnOther

The magazine I have chosen for my editorial is AnOther magazine because they well known for studio shoots and I think they display their still life editorials in a very interesting way. Going through AnOther i found the page layouts very peculiar and there seemed to be no real uniformity or constancy to them. Some pages were full bleed where as some where collaged with a few images. Going through some back issues and images I looked at online, AnOther tend to use a slight grey tint on their backgrounds which I feel gives a bit more depth to the photograph rather than using a bright white background,

I really like how they have portrayed the images in this editorial and I think I am going to do something similar. Although there is a lot of white space it still looks sleek and professional.
