Annotated Original Images

This creates a positive representation of students by using high key lighting to make him look happy, bright and cheerful. Another way this provides a positive image is with the way he is dressed which gives the impression that he is smart. Another way the image makes him seem happy is with his smiling facial expression.


The image uses high key lighting to give the impression of a bright and welcoming environment. The large number of books in the image suggest that the library contains vast amounts of knowledge. Also, the neatness and lack of mess in the library that it is a nice, quiet place where everything has order and purpose, and students can retreat to and work in when they need peace.


This image uses high key lighting to suggest a bright and welcoming environment. Also the image has the student using the chromebook to do her work  which suggests that the chromebook is superior to the computers and that the students prefer them by choosing to use them.


This image uses low key lighting to draw attention to the computers that suggest the students always have access to the resources they need to complete any outstanding work they may have.

Preliminary Task Brief

For the first task we need to complete, we have been asked to design and create the front cover and contents page for a school or college magazine.  For this I will need to look at some actual magazines and analyse the conventions they use.  I will need to take my own images.  I will also need to make sure that I get audience feedback to make sure my production  is appropriate.
