Designing a Picture Story

Designing a picture story in Photoshop allows you to set images out in a way which narrates a story, to show a set of images with the accompany of text, however, broadcasting these images to provoke the reader away from the words written. Opening the window, and selecting a ‘web’ layout, you are faced with a portrait white background in which you can place your images on top of.

You then flip this image to landscape mode by selecting the ‘rotate tool’, you then are left with a landscaped, white background. This then leads you to select the rulers on the side of the tool bar, which enables you to set up the exact adjustments you wish to make on where you want to apply your images and text. This also allows you to do it accurately as the ‘rulers’ tool promises an accurate position of where the middle is both vertically and horizontally.

The next stage is the uploading of the images I’m going to use, and deciding how much ratio of text / to image there is going to be on my picture story.

Ive managed to select the following images for my picture story:

I chose this image of the house in the 1960s because I feel its a clear reflection of history, a classic photograph. I felt as a minor image, this could clearly make the reader clarify the changes its gone through, with the help with the development and plans made by my parents. I think accompanying this image with a portrait can make this statement clear, and make the narrative flow more.
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Taken on an OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA, I like this image yet again as a minor image. I think it really sets up the reader into understanding the extent of change which has been happening in my new house. You also get a grasp from this the essence of culture, and how it differs from my archive images which I’ll also use in this picture story. I like the bright, unusual colours, this ensures a ere of ambiguity, and will hopefully, in effect, make the picture story more exciting and vibrant.
