Single Page Contact Sheet & Ideas


Here is the contact sheet for my single page which I got asked to do by my older brother as he felt there was a lack of her "normal" life, I took advantage with this request and noticed an absence in colour in my magazine. This meant that I had to focus on adding colour into my single page. A problem I encountered when I began creating my magazine was I had already finished the article on the previous double page, however I then began looking at a magazine called "Grazia" even thought it is a fashion magazine I took a look at the magazine and got an idea of adding an "Ups and Downs" part to the single page, this meant I was able to get personal with the fans and talk about Antonias life before she got famous and her live as she is famous and the differences, the fans will feel more connected with the singer as her old life is getting involved.  I felt that it was best to talk about the difference with her Living, Fashion and Celebrities. To the side there is a boxed section which has a yellow colour to illustrate the highs and the black to represent the lows, I am going to mimic this but twist it into music and Antonias lifestyle. I am going to at least try to encounter some gold text or a white glow to illustrate that the magazine is flowing and that this page does connect with the overall Antonia section. Lastly I had a tough decision about where I should take the final shot and how I should take it, for this shoot I simply told Antonia to be herself, I told her to come in the current clothes she is in which will illustrate her "normal" side. She then came in a nice dress and her hair tied up which was perfect. Now it was my job about where to take the photo, I didn't actually like the way my house looked in the background so I used my neighbors front gate (with permission!) as an area which Antonia could be in front of, I did this too see as if behind her was her actual house. I took the photo in many different poses and angels however the most simple one won. Eye level with looking straight at Antonia combined with a simple natural simple, perfect.
