Photos Pre And Post Editing

In terms of editing, I was lucky to have very good lighting for all of my images. I chose the correct settings on my camera so that I wouldn't have to do so much editing when it came to it. The only image I really edited was the one of my steel chaser as I had to put it into black and white.

Here is my double page spread image before editing. I kept the brightness and contrast etc. the same, because when I placed the image in black and white, I wanted to keep all of the highlights I had already captured in colour.

Here is my image after editing. I decided to put the image in black and white so that I could make my page stand out by adding colour with my text and layout choices. I preferred this image in black and white and also I felt like this went against Giroux's theory of youths being the 'empty category'. I feel like my magazine disproves many theories as Giroux's theory says that youths are blamed for society's problems, which they are, yet they merely reflect the concerns and anxieties of the adults. I feel like I am portraying all of the athletes in my images in a good way and I think my magazine will change people's view of youths in the media to a more positive view.
