When making a picture story the first thing to do is chooose 3-5 strong images that show the different types of traditional picture story images, such as the establishing shot along with a detailed shot and an enviornmental portrait for example. To make the picture story you need to open up photoshop and open up a white A3 document (New, international paper, A3) and then rotate the image so it is sideways (image, image rotation) and then place the images that you want onto the page. Once you have placed the images onto the page then you can choose how much spacing you would like between the images, and how to place them on the A3 spread. It is made into an A3 spread as this is how it would be presented in a newspaper. When placing these images the establishing shot should usually be the biggest image, and then the other images should be placed smaller around them, also leaving space for a title and text which we will need to leave to leave space for our text that explains about our picture story. When making the title you can use different fonts and layer styles to make the title stand out and make it original. For the picture story i will need to choose a title which explains my picture story. Using rulers when making a picture story will ensure that the spacing inbetween the images will be the same and this will make the picture story more neat. When placing the title it can also be placed over the image however you will need to ensure that if the image is a dark image then the title is lighter so then it stands out. In addition when making a picture story you need to think about how people view and read them, for example when reading in a magazine or in a newspaper people read from left to right, so by usually placing the establishing shot in the left top hand corner it makes it the main focal point of the page, even though it should be because esentially it will be the largest image on the page. 

Brainstorm on titles 

As my story will be on my mum my title needs to be something that explains our family life at home, or something to do with her anxiety.
