Task 4By Jordan Lyn

Picture EditingHere I edited the size of the photo, I had to put the image into Photoshop as it was too big in InDesign. I changed the size to an A4 size.

Picture Editing I knew that my image had to be the size of an A4 spread therefore I changed my width, height and resolution for the best quality picture. The width was 21cm, the height being 29.7 and the resolution was 300 pixels/inch. After I saved the edit as a JPEG and placed it into InDesign.

Picture Editing Again the size of this image was too big for its use, I went into Photoshop and changed the width, height and resolution to 13.5 x 8.33 with 300 resolution.

Picture Editing Now I was able to save it as a Jpeg and insert it into my InDesign document.

Picture SelectionI chose to use this image because it had the right proportion of light set out in his face. I also used the background to my advantage, it was a light creamy colour which made his stand out. I used a mid-angle shot because I wanted to concentrate on the top half of his stature. His head is held high in the light and the shadows make the image look natural. I also focused the camera for a more in depth and clear image of him.

Picture SelectionI chose this image of his because he is expressing his musical talents in this image. There is a lot of lighting which portrays his talent in the future. I did not need to edit the image because I felt that the image was perfect for my magazine. I chose to take it as a mid-shot because this allowed me to capture his body and some of the drum kit. I compromised with the equipment we had as the drum kit was half missing which is why I only included the base and cymbal.

ImportingAfter taking my images on the DSLR I went home to import the images onto my computer using the memory card. I then E-mailed it to myself to have the access to it in college.
