Exploration of digital software: Lucid Press

-
The digital software I will be using for this project is Lucidpress. I have looked at this software in order to present my work in magazine format. 

To begin with, I have explored Vogue's archive to have an example on how Vogue magazine articles are displayed. I have found these 2 different examples which are also feature articles. As you can see, there are different ways to present an article there can be images that take up 2 pages and others that are smaller.








On Lucidpress, I started by selecting a magazine template 


I have then, explored some features of text such as font, size and page number.




I added an image to see how this would look with the writing and I have aligned the writing to the centre as seen by the magazines in Vogue. Moreover, I have noticed that Vogue articles start their writing with the first letter being larger than the rest of the text so I tried this out too.




After creating an article-like paper I have considered to try out a flip book and consider presenting my final article in this way. I uploaded the pdf article-like creation on Flipsnack (flip book software) which made the pdf look like a magazine paper.

Sequential photography made by me (individually)

My initial ideas on this task were to create a set of sequential images that had a deeper meaning compared to the set we created as classwork. I came up with the idea to shoot a set of sequential images whilst giving money to a man in need. I decided to place the action of giving the money halfway through the images because I wanted to create a sort of narrative within the images. In this way, I was able to show the difference in the man's expression before having the money and after having the money. As you can see below, I drew a storyboard sketch to demonstrate my initial idea. Storyboard sketch: Process of Editing: I took the pictures with my phone and I changed the original color to a black&white filter using my camera settings.  Then, I edited the brightness of each photo to a higher level still using the camera settings on my phone.                                                                               I chose the pictures that

 I would like to introduce a new friend I just met, his name is Andrei and he is from Moscow. This is his second time enrolling in DMU since he studied English last year. He is 22 years old and  his progression route will be Film making. He enjoys watching movies and playing games on the computer. He chose Film Studies because he wishes to work in the Film industry, and is greatly inspired by Steven Spielberg. My blog buddy and I will help each other with our blog posts, giving each other feedback on what we can improve.                                                                                                                       https://andreiobraztsov.blogspot.com

Sequential photography with partner

My partner and I were given an assignment of creating a set of sequential images as classwork and this is what we came up with We made this simple but creative task using a cup, water and a tea bag. We took pictures showing every change of color the water went through as the tea dissolved inside it. You can see the tea bag changing color as well from white to yellowish. The water slowly changed from being transparent or see-through to dull. We used my IPhone to shoot the photos and an app called Pica Art to create the collage. No editing was made except cropping the images. This was our first time to create sequential photos so we kept it simple, but many things could have been improved such as; keeping an equal distance from the camera to the cup in all pictures and shooting from the same angle. We should have added some editing and perhaps shoot a set of images with a better quality because these look somehow blurred.
