Creative Styling - Home Office

For this project I was required to create styled photographs which follow design principles and would be suited for use in a magazine layout. For the publication I chose Cereal Magazine because I liked the neutral and minimal aesthetic that this magazine is known so well for. For my concept I chose to focus on the home office space specifically for an interior designer.
I took inspiration from various articles about redesigning home offices as well as flat lay photographers such as Jasmine Dowling as I liked her style of photography and wanted to use some of her techniques in my work. I also used Pinterest as a main source of inspiration to help me explore various options and approaches for each of my shoots, I also refereed back to my research a lot throughout the project to ensure I was on track with what I planned to create, this helped me make sure I was sticking to the house style of my chosen publication and my final outcomes would be fitting for Cereal. To make some of the simple images more interesting I edited them using Photoshop to add a shadow effect as this was often used in images I saw when doing my research.
