Questionnaire analysis

Double page Spread

A quick explanation of my choice of style. The main theme of the article was about subverting from the conventions we are used to seeing. Therefore I wanted to subvert from the conventions of a reggae magazine. 

Photos for DPS with evaluation

My photos are generally unconventional. There is no clear shot of the artists face in the photos. I endeavored to make my photos link to the article. I had changed the main story of the article, it more concerns an up and coming reggae and dancehall artist that feels that the conventions in society are ridiculous and people should break them and wear whatever they want to. Therefore it has the model in non-stereotypical attire of an artist in this genre, she wears different costume. The whole idea in the first picture is to create the mystery generated by this artist and her vastly unknown lifestyle. The edit here was to create the sense of an enigma, something you can't really make out. The mirroring of the image was mainly to incorporate two different edits together and see if they would work.

In the second photo, it is unedited. The flowers in the hair is something that would be expected of a child, children often being seen as innocent. this was used to contrast between her raunchy and, often explicit, music with her innocent appearance. 

The following three photos are the same as the first, the original being included among them. I just played around with different colours and filters to try and make the photo seem unconventional. The re-occurring theme through these photos is the want to be enigmatic. These ones are likely to be used on full page of the double page spread. 

The last photo is a photo that has been reflected and filtered. It is likely to appear on both sides of the double page spread. The whole idea was to have the double page spread in that colour scheme again with the intention of creating that enigmatic scene. 

On the whole I think my photos were good, each having their own positives and negatives. I think that each photo meets the mystery I want to create. However I feel that each one is a risk and will depend on how I layout the double page spread before I can fully evaluate the photos and whether or not they work.

For this sketch, I will have my model in a more provocative position, which is typical of the genre. Furthermore again I am going with the idea that she has boys in the palm of her hand

Due to my poor drawing skills, i'll provide a small explanation of my sketch. My idea is to have model wearing a tiara to show her position as queen of the genre. Also, she will have a number of boys in the palm of her hand to imply she has the boys where she wants them.
