Assignment Brief:
Worksheet:
Research of similar creatives :
The industry i would like to work in is a freelance media studio where I am my own boss and i will manage my social media accounts and post content created by me frequently to grow a huge following which would give feedback on my work, i would like to create videos,take pictures and make art pieces which would be proccessed and posted to show my work and also take enquiries and sell some pieces of my work or be hired to take photographs.
hayk_animation
This page is managed by an animator who does animation as a hobby and even though his following is not a lot his community is very active and so is he in posting very frequently and meeting the suggestions of his fans.
lup.etto
Lup.etto is another social media influencer / artist which i researched in addition to the people i reached out to because his art style was similar to the person i was interviewing and also he animated his images in some cases to make them digital and edit them even further .
Researching of additional Creative :
Social Media Influencer Tommy Durling who prefers that the page he manages remain anonymous.
Questions for interview used in final magazine spread:
What made you want to become an artist?
How long have you been working in your industry?
What equipment and software do you use ?
Do you have any particular projects that you have enjoyed working on or which you enjoyed specifically?
Do you have any tips for someone starting up their own business?
How long did it take for you to gain experience and develop the required skills ?
What difficulties/obstacles did you encounter when starting up your business if there were any
Magazine Spread examples and research :
These were magazine spread examples which i looked at and researched in preparation for putting together my own so that when i started my own it would not be difficult to come up with an idea or even approach the research because i would have already had an idea as to what i would want my magazine spread to look like.
The spread i chose as the inspiration for my spread:
I chose this spread not only because of how visually appealing it is but also because of the layout which i found could be modified to serve the purpose i would like more effectively and more efficiently
Making the Spread:
The initial stages included me putting the replies from the interview into two text boxes and getting a title aligned so that it would have space for images to be input and a side for the main image which was taken by me .
After adding the main image i aligned it to the container and moved things around to fit even more closely and be more appealing however i was not satisfied with this layout and began trying different layouts to see which i preferred.
After moving around the images for quite some time i settled on the below layout because it flowed and the excess image could be used to line up with the other mage which was even more similar to the spread that i was basing my own on.

Evaluation:
In conclusion i think that the blog contains a clear and well outlined step by step as to what was done and how the result was approached and arrived at ,there weren't too many problems encountered throughout the process however better equipment could have been used and a more professional editing style to make the image even more detailed and also to make it a higher standard in general .
If i was to do this assignment again i would try to secure a good camera and better kit to use for the duration it will be completed and in addition to that i will try to learn more editing skills and become more accustomed to editing software so that the result would be of the highest quality .In addition to that i will try to carry out the process in a more professional way .
The process itself went smoothly and everything was completed in a very flexible time frame which left me enough time to make small tweaks and adjustments as time went by and i got better at editing therefore making me refine my final artefacts from time to time.
