When creating a picture story you need to choose a range of images and play around in Photoshop with where you want to place the images. First when starting you need to choose an establishing shot and this will be the biggest image, this is the one that should be in the left top hand corner as this is where a person would first look when they are reading a magazine or a newspaper.
When making this picture story you need to use rulers to make sure that the spacing of the images is the same which makes it look neater and cleaner. By using rulers it can ensure that there is the same amount of spacing that is between the images.
This is my final picture story, i need to write some text in the spaces that i have left. For the writing i need to write in the third person. To expand on these picture stories i will make different lay outs for the images and place writing in different spaces. For some of the images i am going to place one of the images as the background and then place other images on top of that one. I will experiment with black and white and images left in colour. In this picture story the main image is the one that i have placed the largest and to the left so that it is the first thing that is seen that is on the page.
Experiment 1:
This is the picture story that i made of my mum. Around the images i wrote text that describes in general how anxiety makes people feel and how it makes people feel isolated sometimes. I also in the corner added a quote which my mum says a lot, i added this quote as she usually always feels very drained from feeling stressed which means that she is tired often. I made sure that the spacing was the same between all of the images and the text to make it look neat, i think that by having some of my images in black and white and the other in colour makes it more interesting as it makes the one in colour stand out.
Experiment 2:
For this picture story which is the same as the last one, i changed the bottom image to colour so there was a range of black and white image and colour images, so that it was not just one image that stood out.
