For this image I increased the contrast and lowered the highlights and shadows. The reason I did this is because the original photo wasn't eye catching and didn't stand out and I wanted the objects to stnd out more.

Whilst creatimg my introduction I decided to encorporate some images of beauty and skin care, however some of the images I needed to edit to allow all of the imaages to blend together and have the same colour pallet. I decided to make this particular image darker as the orange wasn't fitting in with my colour pallet.

My decision to use Discovery plus as my streaming company for my documentary "Is collagen worth the hype?" was very easy for me as I knew that it was best suited for the genre of my documentary as when I think of Discovery plus I think of health and educational documentaries. Discovery plus is one of the biggest platforms for documentaries and so it will give mine a chance of reaching the widest audience it can, compared to Netflix where my target audience wouldn't go onto Netflix to find a documentary about health and colllagen.

google docs form  click this to get to the form  For the planning of my magazine artcle i started with thinking about the colour pallets i want to use. To come to my decision i made a google doc form to send to my target audience -  i sent the form to males and females from the ages of 17-50 as this is my target audience as younger ages are becoming more exposed to collagen as well as males. By sending this form i was able to see what colours my target audience would like to see and what would grab their attention.

I sent the form to people ages 17-50, i did this as this is my target audience as well as the younger audiences are becoming more expoed to collagen and there has been an increase in health and collagen is part of that, i chose to send the form to the older generation because sterotypically the older segment of the population care more about their youth and health so they do more research around collagen so having their prefernece is very helpful for when i am amking my choices. the results i got from the form were that all around the majority of my target audience liked the idea of having light blue involved in the magazine article. the background 50% of the participants said was white and i agree with this as it keeps it plain and clean. it was 50/50 for whether i should use brighter colours for example pink within my heading or more neutral colours, however looking at the other answers i am leaning towards more neutral colours. The next question was asking if i should use neutr...
