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.

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

• Establishing Shot
• Detail Shot
• Relationship Shot
• 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.

Here Is my first Attempt at InDesign, I used the rectangle frame tool to design where I wanted the pictures to go, then I inserted pictures that I thought went well in those areas. I wanted this slide to be entirely building and motor vehicles so that my next slide can be full of pictures showing the decisive moment. I saw a few picture magazines having text duplicated going across the screen so I replicated that here with the St Malo title.

Here Is my second attempt, I reogranised some of the photos but It doesnt look as good as the first so I thought I could add some colour to the image.

I reorganised the photos again and changed the title to a normal title, I think this is my best one so far.

Using New Photos:

I’m now using photos of people to present the decisive moment, I used a quirky font for the title, however I don’t think it looks French enough so I will add some next.

Here I added the French flag with a slight angle at the back of the image. The ‘st’ in the title was hard to see so I changed it to from black to white, to contrast the dark blue behind it. Next I feel like I could improve the title, and maybe experiment more with the background:

I used a picture of a wall in st malo that I took for the background Image, also decreasing the transparency. I also changed the title to something French. Next Im going to try reducing the noise in the centre by shrinking some images and removing some text:

I also added a drop shadow to some of the title and tilted some of the image a little bit but not too much where it looks wrong.

Above is my final iteration, I changed the photos and added different borders to images. I also decreased the transparency for the background image.

First spreadsheet:

For all of these spreadsheets, I wanted them to be in black and white to create an old, vintage affect. I started by creating different sized boxes using the rectangle tool, and placing the images I wanted to use. Then, once I had all the images I needed, I added another box to fill with text. I then finished with experimentation of the layout to see where I wanted everything to be.

I didn’t like this first one as I felt that all the photos were crowded on one side.

So, I moved the text to the middle, which I didn’t really like. I tried different options of where the text should be, so that there is a balance between the images and the text.

Final outcome:

I really like how this came out because I feel like the images and the text balance each other out, and the images draw your eye view towards the text.

Second spreadsheet:

Final outcome:

I think this was really successful as I added more text boxes to make the layout look organised and balanced with both the images and text.

Third spreadsheet:

Final outcome:

For this last spreadsheet, I decided to make it images only as I felt like this would look better overall as my previous spreadsheets include text, and I wanted to create something a little bit different.

First layout

For my first layout in InDesign I decided to just get a real feel for how to layout my images. This photo story consists of a bunch of random images in which show how to present a photo story board.

PICTURE STORY 1

first copy without extra experimentation

As you can see by the title of this picture story, I decided to create a picture story presenting the people in which I had come across during my trip to St Malo. I chose the most unique and eye catching images from my photoshoot to really grab the viewers attention. My images almost create stories behind them whether they are the right stories of what was actually going on or just stories in which people deceive throughout what they see within the image and create their own story from the image using their imagination. I felt these images were powerful as they really captured the true connections between the people in St Malo and how they acted towards us as tourists.
