  For the photoshoots I am going to gather some friends to model outfits that will be showcased in the magazine. Some  of the shooting locations I have in mind are Sarasota downtown, Siesta Key  and  backyards with nature scenery.  All the outfits will be clothes that my friends own for budget  and sizing  purposes .  Neutral and medium shot angles will be utilized during the photoshoot process.  T hese camera angles will  draw attention to the outfits displayed, it will also help to not distract the viewer from the main focus  of the pictures.  Any props used will be simple, such as drink cups or  purses/handbags .

At times the task became challengin g;   having  to consider every possible detail,  plan n ing  meticulously to ensure a   high-quality  final product  was quite arduous . I  did,  however, fin d that I enjoy planning out the design and aesthetics of the magazine. Choosing a color scheme, typography, and photo placement  was an entertaining endeavor. The storyboard truly helped me develop my concept, the visual element allowed me to actually see the changes I wanted to make.   From this exercise I learned of the importance of effectively planning  for a project  beforehand . As  Annemar e e   O'Brien  explained,  “the  quality of the idea has a greatest impact on the quality of the final product ” ( O'Brien, 2005).   This flexible method...
