Creative Critical Reflection

1. My product uses conventions about Generation Z's creativity and it represents them by showcasing their artworks, and how they make bold statements to the world using their art. My product does represent social groups, like Artists and Minorities, and some of the artworks shown in my product talk about LGBTQ+ rights. 2. My product engages with audiences by introducing the creativity of the younger generation, and how they contribute to beautiful masterpieces with their artistic skills. My product would also be distributed both digitally and physically, so that people of both worlds can see my product. 3. My production skills developed a lot.

The importance of Photo Planning

Image
Photo Planning helps to make sure you get the photo you envision in your head to be exactly how you want it to be. Photo planning consists of having more than one photographer at an event, and assigning each of them to their own zones. By doing this, it gives the person putting all the photos together options to choose from. Photograph groups that vary in sizes, like a big group of spectators, or a small group of 3 performers. It is is also essential to get some before and after event photos to show how everyone built up and cleaned up before and after an event. Take pictures of moments when they happen too, like someone jumping or doing a flip, and if you can, get photos that are real close to the subject you are taking a picture of. When taking pictures of sport related things, make sure the ball is in the shot itself. With photo planning, I was able to get a cover like this for my magazine:

The importance of Composition, Cropping, and Storage

Image
 When making a photo spread, it's important to keep many things in mind, like composition, cropping, and your storage. Photo composition helps to make good images. The ways we learned to take a picture are from different angles, and perspectives, for example: -Shooting from a Birds Eye (shoot an image above) -Shooting from a Worms Eye (shoot an image below) -Using the rule of thirds (split an image into 9 boxes using lines, and make sure the person your photographing is in the left or right of those 3 boxes) -Using leading lines (shoot from an angle that makes it look like a line is leading to the main point of the image) -Using Isolation (isolate the subject in the picture from the background to make it stand out) -Getting closer (move your camera closer to get all good details if the image doesn't look good.) -Not using flash all the time. Sometimes the non existent light is okay. -Using framing (use things like fences or desks to create a frame for an image, like a frame for...

The importance of Headlines

Image
Although they may seem unimportant and small, a Good headline is important if you want to grab a reader's attention. Headlines help you describe your content in an accurate but attractive way. Use "trigger words" like what, when, why, and how, mainly why and how, to trigger someone into reading your publication. You could also use a number, but don't use a trigger word AND a number at the same time, they don't usually work out. Headlines also rely on Visual Verbal Connections, the visual being the image, and the verbal being the copy. The primary Headline is bigger than anything else on the spread, and then the secondary headline proves information to the main headline to give more context. For example, like this:
