First I started by creating the layout for my spread by using placeholder text for the text areas as well as starting to fill in the images such as the establishing shots. I also created the Headline and chose an appropriate font for it.

Version 1

For this I added the text in and the photos. I might change some of the photos to see if I can improve. but for now I’m going to experiment with the background.

Version 2

For this one I experimented by making the background the French flag as St. Malo is located in France. I did this because I wanted to experiment with having a simple colour background instead of an image which I will try doing next.

Version 3

for this I got one of the photos and put it as the background. The text was hard to read because the background is also in black and white but I lowered the transparency a bit and it looks better and makes the text a bit easier to read.

Version 4

Final Designs

Out of all the designs I feel like these ones are the best outcomes. I replaced the image of the boat on the first two page spreads to make it fit the theme of the images and designs. Overall I am really happy with how it all turned out.

Brief analysis

I used the tool to create a box where I then added the photos I wanted to use from my St Malo photoshoot in the areas of the page I wanted them to be. I used photos that link together and tried to use photos that were different kinds of shots like establishing shots and observed shots.

I then added a text box to the top right hand corner of the page layout and added a title, I then changed the font of the title to make it fit the way I wanted the page layout to look. After this I added a text box in the spaces I wanted to leave blank and filled them in with text.

I then did the same thing with a different set of images that told a different story and then created a title and filled in the blank spaces with text. I then wanted to get some colour in the background of the page spread so created a box and filled it with the colour I wanted and clicked move to background so the colour was behind the text and the images. I then changed the colour of the text to white so that it stood out more.

With this page layout I added a different set of images and then added a blank box and filled it in with a light green to put in the background of the page to make the writing stand out more.

This is my double page spread and I added two sets of images for each page and added text to both pages. After I added a blue colour box and sent it to the back and then added a red colour box on the other page and sent that to the back as well. I then changed the colour of the text to white to make the writing stand out.

This is another layout of my images showcasing the history of St Malo from the statues and sculptures to the historic buildings and cafes.

Evaluation

I like my final page spreads because they are all different are unique and tell a different story each time. I think that to improve them I would of added my own text about the decisive moment rather than use the prompt text. The page spread with the red and blue boxes in the background is my favourite because it emphasises the writing and the photos a lot clearer.

Mood board

These picture stories are all related to the Vietnam war and the war in Budapest. These picture stories show a lot of information about these events and describe what happened from these tragic photos.

Types of photos used in picture stories

• Observed Shot
• Environmental Portrait
• Formal Shot

Analysis of Picture story

In this photo page spread there are four different photos and you can see that there is a few detail shots which have been taken close up and show clearly what is happening. There is a relationship shot at the bottom right hand corner which shows a man and a woman walking along the street after the war that has just broken out in the street. Most of the photos that have been taken are observed shots and have been captured when no one knew they were being photographed there were no formal shots of anyone in the photos. The establishing shot is the largest photo at the top of the page which shows what is going on in the series of photos.

What is the Rohingya Experience?

The Rohingya Experience, is a photographic exhibition offering an intimate view into the lives and experiences of the Rohingya refugee community in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. this exhibition marked its European premiere in Jersey. The exhibition shines a testament into the resilience and dignity of the Rohingya people, demonstrating the transformative power of photography. This powerful medium gives voice to the stateless, offers a platform for visual storytelling, and provides a glimpse into life in the world’s largest refugee camp through the eyes of Rohingya youth.

Where did the exhibition take place?

The exhibition took place around St Helier here is a map of where it was:

Photographs from the exhibition

Street photography is a genre of photography that records everyday life in a public place. The very publicness of the setting enables the photographer to take candid pictures of strangers, often without their knowledge. Street photographers do not necessarily have a social purpose in mind, but they prefer to isolate and capture moments which might otherwise go unnoticed.

Does there have to be a ‘street’?

No. The term is both limiting and misleading. Sounds like a street photography should be photos of a streets, however its all about capturing a moment. All street photographers, except for a small number of absolute beginners, will fully appreciate that a street is not the key component to street photography, and actually if it’s a picture of a street with maybe a few boring people doing nothing of interest, that’s not street photography, that’s a snapshot of a street.
