I chose this magazine cover because I’m a very tenacious and dedicated person and I felt that using the Entrepreneur magazine cover shows off my personality. I also like the plain and simple look to the cover as well. That also shows who I am as a person, I like the simple things and don’t want to overcomplicate stuff. When working on this project, I had used a plain color background and the title of the magazine in order to give it the same feel as the actual magazine. I forgot what font style I used, it was pretty much anything that looked similar to the actual magazine cover. And I just left the style like it normally is.
I had cropped the image to fit the guidelines preset by the teacher and just went from there. I selected the background and changed the color of it. Then I found a title that is able to be used in photoshop and placed it at the top with a sub headline. That was the big thing in making it look like the actual magazine. The way we took the picture was using a strobe light. What the strobe light is is a giant light bulb that gives off a bright flash of light. We’d use this light to give off extremely bright light. Modeling light is a light that is on slightly to see where the bright light will fall on the model. Then when taking an actual image, the flash will actually go off. Another thing photographers can use is a softbox. The softbox diffuses light so it's a softer look instead of harsh light on the subject. A reflector is something used to reflect light on the model or subject. There is a gold side and a silver side the photographer may use to change the look of the subject or model. The grey card used helps the photographer to determine if the lighting is right in the image. The model holds the card and the photographer takes a picture to see if any adjustments need to be made. Then, a photographer can also use a radio trigger system to signal the flash to go off. This is done by having an attachment on the top of the camera and making sure the camera and the flash are on the same wavelength.
