15/10/25 - Photo Editing

 Today, I began to choose out some more photos to flesh out my website.

I chose some of my favourites from the collection of photoshoots I completed and edited some of them to be more high-end and Vogue worthy.

14/10/25 - Website Home Page Development

 Today, I worked on my website. I added a slideshow of my two models and text that says "Welcome to Elite, The Cultivation of Fashion". Furthermore, I added the animation that my header slowly disappears as I scroll to make my website appear more cohesive and put together.

Finally, I've also added the "New In ELITE" section, in which I will put my two front covers, to emphasise the brand identity of the magazine and promote their new magazine editions/

13/10/25 - Front Page Development and Contents Page Layout

 Today, I began with experimenting with the background gradient of my first cover, and have decided on a white/grey gradient, as it makes my model stand out. I also began a rough mock-up of the contents page that aligns with the first front cover, deciding on which photos to use and a rough layout, in order to experiment on ways to present this. I also started to block out ideas for my other front cover. I like the photo shown, however the background at first seemed a bit bland to me, so I began to play around with different background colours. 

10/10/25 - Cover 1 Contents Page Development

 Today, I began my contents page which ties into my first cover. I decided on the layout and began to block out different sections of these two pages including the images, text and headline. I explored different photo options and have narrowed it down to one of the top two.

3/10/25 - Front Cover Work

Today, I downloaded the font I would like to use for my cover lines, headline and logo throughout my final products. After this, I airbrushed my models skin, hair and outfits using the "remove" tool to get rid of any imperfections in the image.

2/10/25 - Front Cover Choices

 Today, I looked through my reshoot photos of my second model, Seth, and I went through every photo and narrowed down my front cover choices to the two photos above. Next, I will enter photoshop with both photos, brighten them up to make the lighting appear a bit better, and create mockups of my final front cover to help me decide which photo will work best for the cover.

Flatplans & Shotlists

 Here are the shotlists I created in order to better organise the photoshoots I conducted during the summer with my two models. These shotlists were particularly helpful in allowing me to better visualise the photos I wanted to take and be able to better communicate with my models on the poses and way to dress.
