Costume Photoshoot and Editing

I placed the coaties on a black chart paper. I used my iPhone 11 Pro Max and its portrait mode to capture the shots.

The background was showing to be quite lighter. I expected a jet black colour just like the chart was showing in real life. I tried placing it on other types of backgrounds but I realised I would have to edit the background somehow

I ended up using this application I found on iStore called ‘MagicEraser’ which easily let me eraser the background. I edited the costumes of lightroom

Finally, after editing and fixing everything, this what the pictures turned out to be

these are the final results

Final Product: Shoot and Editing

For the shoot of my final cover page, I used my iPhone 11 Pro Max for the shoot. It is a 12-megapixel primary camera with an f/1.8 aperture; a 12-megapixel camera with an f/2.4 aperture, and a 12-megapixel camera with an f/2.0 aperture. its a pretty good camera and gets the job done just right.

For the costume, I used Doggo’donalds Eid merchandise. For the props I grabbed a few candles, flowers and cushions from around the house that I thought complimented the whole vibe. My pet dog Mr. Stoeger the pug was our model.

Some pictures from the shoot are attached below.

This is the picture I chose for my the cover page

I used Adobe photoshop Lightroom on my iPhone 11 to edit the final picture I selected.

Final Product: Sketch

The idea I have in mind for my final product is to create a pet magazine mostly because we hardly ever see any of those especially never in Pakistan. This unique idea is what I thought would be interesting to work with and because of the pandemic, I couldn’t really get anyone to shoot for the cover. I am the founder for ‘Doggo’donalds’ a restaurant and clothing brand for dogs and since I have previously worked on shooting for our merchandise I thought this would be perfect! Attached below are some pictures of what I sketched for my final cover

Research: Main Music Genre

For my final magazine cover, the theme and genre I chose is a pet magazine and the reason why I chose this specific genre was because not only is it different, unique and interesting but also because we hardly ever see any magazines of this sort and especially here in Pakistan, there is no magazine exclusive to pets.

Me being a fanatic for pets especially dogs, I’m always in the search of finding informative content regarding pets and quick fixes for their issues. There a huge market that is not being catered by depriving it of content they desire to consume and this is exactly why I chose this theme.

Research: Screen Resolution

Monitors connected to the PC display images texts and other content using pixels. Computer screens are made up of thori sands of pixels. By changing the size, pattern and colour of these pixels, images texts etc appear on the screen.

Screen resolution is the clarity of the texts images of contents displayed on the screen.
At higher resolutions, such as 1600 x 1200 pixels, items appear sharper and smaller so more items can be displayed on the screen. At a lower resolution like 800 x 600 pixels, the items on the screen are large but fewer items can fit the screen. Screen resolution is crucial for designers, photographers and artists. When working on a project, the most important tool is the monitor. The resolution depends on the monitors as some can support higher resolutions and may support lower resolutions.
The screen resolution of the monitor has a huge impact on how the product is displayed

Research: Primary Research Methods

Primary research methods come in handy when trying to find the target audience of the product and the type of content they’d be interested to consume. These methods are also used to gather feedback directly from the target market instead of relying on data that pre exists. These methods include interviews, surveys and questionnaires.

Interviews:
Interviews involve asking participants questions face to face in form of individual or group interviews. These can also alternatively be done using phone calls.

Surveys:
A general overview of something done through asking standardised short questions from all participants.

Questionnaires:
Printed or written questions with a range of few options to answer from. Used to do statistical studies.
