Picture stories: research and Analysis

Above is a little mood board of various magazine and picture stories I have found online. I will be using my photos from the St. Malo trip to create a picture story of the walled town.

Analysis:

This page is apart of the ‘Nurse Midwife’ by W Eugene Smith. It talks about stories of Midwifes and the difficulties of being a midwife. I like how one side is just a single picture, as well as being the most dramatic picture. I think this was done to allow the viewer to spend time looking at the image instead of glancing at it and turning to the next page. On the left side, the photos dominate the text, likely because its easier to show emotion faster thought images than text. The font used for the title ‘Maude’s 16-hour day’ is bold, larger and different to others, making it stand out more.
