From my developed theme of ‘Off – Centred Escape’ we had to come up with a double page spread that would be published in King Kong magazine. Using a variety of materials to create props to use in our photoshoots, I wanted to use materials such as duck tap which implies being trapped, torn fabrics to show the release and the effort of escaping, having different pieces of fabric conveyed the idea that they are rapped up in the fabrics and in the hair trying to escape the constant layers and chicken wirer rapped around to imply the war and the harsh and brutal materials used. I really like how my props have turnt out, I believe that they do show my theme of escaping but not the usual way, with a bit of fantasy shown through the coloured fabrics. I really enjoyed making the props and styling my model however I found it hard when it came to thinking of the positions for my model to express my theme. Furthermore, I could develop this by researching more into different poses by looking into magazines and how the models positions helps to convey the theme through the image. Using the selected images to create a double page spread. I wanted to play around with the positioning and colours to see what worked well together and which images really conveyed my theme that I wanted to get across to the viewer. I really like how I have placed the images out across the page however, I need to improve on editing my images so that they are up to standard for a magazine post.
