- For my final presentations I not only wanted to incorporate my themes of the progression and modernisation of st helier but also the way in which I could demonstrate the history and st helier through the archives. I through I could express these themes tonally and show intentions of what the original images would’ve been similar to. I was inspired by themes of documentary photography, this seemingly objectivity should be the ability to convey the impression of an unmitigated image.
- The images have a range of colour overlay experimentations to show a vibrancy and show a senses of life to st helier itself. I was inspired by previous work as colour allowed a free expression and eye catching attentions to the composition nd layout of the images. Howver I think my work has many features of arcjitextual and urban landscapes better complimented wihtin cooler tones, these simplest comparisons present a pre occupation to different sides of st helier and the community and architectural interest wihtin the areas.
Jersey archive:When thinking about jersey archive I wanted to visit area of great prominence to st helier,i think it is interesting of how time shows the development and also deterioration of an area and allows the community to be subjective upon what they think about it.
overall:My aim was to achieve a complimentary colour, composition and overall feel I want to convey of st helier.When speaking to teachers and other photogohers they agreed the most successful and complimentary images are those which represent jersey archive through the time difference of old and modern while still representing the area and mostly in an urban way. the colours I have chosen I have edited in such a way to be similar in their tones and have the same red themes throughout. all of these images demonstrate a process of destruction and reconfiguration of a landscape to form a comparison of St Helier itself.It shows a evolution of an area, time and the people living within the area itself. lastly I wanted to concentrate on the composition of he piece and experimentation within how the images can be presented to the audience with the most effective way.
The lower compositions are too segregated and do not have the correct flow to what a double age would need in a magazine. I have further experimented within that could be my final composition.i could incorporate more experimentation within the architectural construction pieces I have as these also further develop a sense of work ethic and a life to st Helier and the property development within St Helier itself.I will definitely grout and develop an additional shoot for my St Helier project in order to grab a different angle or St Helier and the modernisation and constraint changing to St Helier itself

I edited the images in Photoshop, using an inverted technique which inverts the colour of the selected area, as a result changing them into an almost alien like landscape not previously recognisable. The images are actually both of the side of an apartment in which I found to consist of contrasting colours, grey and orange, something not usually associated with each due to them not mixing. Here is an aerial map of the area of the images taken:
For the front cover I used the Reitam font which I separated the distance between each letter to fill any blank space in the titles area. By placing it at the bottom of the page I thought it would reduce it being the center of attention and instead make the main focus the bird design, this font compliments the stencil like outline of the birds matching the symmetrical pattern. The black box in my opinion within the middle acts as a way of bringing the whole piece together, deterring the bird pattern from being too overpowering and strong.
For the first two pages I found that palm tree imagery was most effective. This is because of how I thought they represented the message of inversion and the unseen world the most out of all shoots, with using two different compositions for stopping the receptivity becoming too overpowering. This was done through the use of blank space which separated the two pictures from each other whilst showing the similarities both had. 
Here I used dark lighting and unseen patterns as my main theme for the two page spread. I used this because of it reflecting the hidden beauty that can be seen in everyday objects in different light, such as lights and chairs. The added inversion created further symmetry and aestheticism which produced contrasting colours that I thought worked well with the overall pieces.
This spread explores the theme of the sky and the silhouettes created by buildings and the contrast they have between them and the environment. To do this I used two images that I thought incorporated gloomy and dull imagery highlighted through using inversion, seen through the birds and the clouds. By using nature in this spread I thought it highlighted the hugely contrasted environment that our urban world has with nature. 
The idea behind this double page spread was to highlight specifically the interior architecture that the majority of the buildings in St Helier possessed. By inverting the majority of the image I found that it reflected the beauty in the individual placement of beams and fabrics, which completely contrasted the previous pages which highlighted beauty in individual objects instead. 
I chose this image as the second double page spread because of its effectiveness of summarizing the random structure and colour sequence that most of the exterior of St Helier has. The use of inverted square presents us with the completely contrasted difference that the structures have with their surroundings, putting across my opinion of how I perceive that town had become ill planned. 
My aim for this image was to provide an insight into the symmetry and lack of development most buildings have in Jersey, where much of St Helier looks the same with continual investment into financial structures. The use of black inversion is to show how the financial industry can be seen in a black and white perspective, either loving or hating it. 
Here I created a collage of people travelling towards work, I wanted to highlight here the repetitiveness that occurred in their everyday lives, and so manipulated their pictures so that an impression of endlessly walking was created. Inside this collage I added another picture, this was to add more context from the two people walking in a line showing subtle indoctrination from the financial sector. 
Overall I was really pleased with the outcome of the zine as I thought it reflected my views about the development of St Helier. Done through the subjective topics about individual aspects of town such as the buildings, people, night life and development, I found there to be a constant recurring theme that allowed for a smooth transitioning between pages, whilst the use of composition for certain pages put across stronger ideas than others.
For the first layout I wanted to experiment with simplicity, to do this I thought the addition of only two images could work. By using one image as a cover page and the second as a four page poster page filler I aimed to see what a multi-use book would be like, where you could read it and convert it to a poster page. When deciding the pictures to select I had to take into account what pictures I thought best reflected the shoots so far, putting across my idea of inversion.
My main focus for this layout were collages, incorporating a picture and manipulating it until the outcome was different to the original product. This is linked into the unusual presentation of the second and third page, where the images don’t match up and aren’t as aesthetically pleasing to us as viewers, however the topic of each page and the setting neutralizes this as it section is dedicated to some aspect of Jersey. Here I tried to use white and black borders effectively on certain pictures, by doing so I hoped to create a contrast between backdrop and photo, eliminating the background from becoming to overpowering.
For this design I tried to mainly focus on introducing aestheticism and varying designs. To do this I used the final page as a double spread whilst using the first three as topical subjective pages, focusing on night life, buildings etc of Jersey. When making it I made sure to use white borders as I found that they were most effective when wanting to look solely at certain images, as it implicitly boxed in photos.
Here I attempted to find how effective using two double page spreads and just a cover photo would be. This to me was the least effective design as there was an overwhelming lack of content and design, as the finished product just looked thrown together in a hurry with no actual idea behind it. However the idea behind it was to give the users two miniature posters which could be assembled out of the book.
For my final design I tried moving around the layout of my previous design, this meant switching the double page spread with the two individual images on either side. I didn’t find it to be as effective however as the original as I found that the spread worked best as a last page design as it looked more like a final photograph, and the individual pictures being presented as a build up to the last piece.
When considering the page layouts I wanted to use a variety of types consisting of a double pages, multiple imagery and a single page to find the design most effective for what I want. Once I finished experimenting with how the zine could look I decided to create a front cover for it, to do this I would use a single picture and manipulate it on Adobe Photoshop to something I’m happy with such as a pattern. This was my result:
Step 1: Choose an image that could be used to create a simple graphic out of my photo shoot.
Step 2: Using the stamp tool produce multiple prints of the bird in a symmetrical pattern.
Step 3: Add a white box with a thick black border to create contrast between the original image and the design in the backdrop.
Once finished discovering different styles of font for the text within the zine I was fairly certain on the one I would choose. This was the Reitam font, I chose this because of the simplicity but effectiveness of the overall result, with the black and sharp-edged symmetry posing as an ideal thing that would draw in the attention of any viewer’s gaze straight away.
