FOOD PHOTO TOURNAMENT 5
December 2022
Welcome to our third Food Photo Tournament in May 2022 - creating our 4th issue of the magazine of the Members' Club!
Vote for the best team on this link. Please, assign from 1(min) to 5 (max) points in each category: Photography, Page design & layout, Content, Overall look.
Your assignment
Your task (as a team) will be to create 3 magazine pages - including the content creation, recipe development, creating the layout & design your pages and make images of the recipes & story you will write about.
Each team will be free to decide how they split the tasks between themselves - whether you will divide each member one page, or you will assign tasks based on the skills of your team members - one will create the recipe, another will make the layout & design of the pages and the third member will create needed images.
Each team has a specific topic, and is free to decide what content they will create. It's up to teams whether they will create 3 simple recipes (one for each page), or they will do one recipe on three pages - story of the recipe (1st page), ingredients list (2nd page), instructions & final dish (3rd page). The number of pages corespondents to the number of team members. (2 pages for a team of 2 members, 3 pages for a team of 3 members).
Then, each team can follow these steps
Step 1 - planning & content creation
In this phase, plan and discuss with your team the theme and the content. Divide the roles within your team and write & finalise all the written content for the project.
step 2 - design & layout
Once the content if finalised and ready, you can access your templates in canva and write the content there directly. In Canva, you can create any kind of layout you want. You can move/adjust/delete anything you don't need.
step 3 - photography
After your layout in Canva is finalised, you can use it for creating images for your pages. You can download the layout as a PNG with the transparent background and use this layout while tethering.
If you have never tethered, please, access this course inside our Members' Club.
step 4 - put it all together
After you complete images for your assignment, you can upload them to Canva and add them to your template. Then, download your 3 pages and send them to lucia@healthygoodiesbylucia.com. DDL for sending your final pdf of the project is 1 week before the live Tournament.
step 5 - live presentation
As a team, you will present your project and tell us more about what you created. Each team will have about 10 minutes to speak about your magazine pages.
Live call will be at the beginning of December. If you can't attend live, the replay of the call will be saved in the Club after.
The Food Photo Tournament might take about 1,5 hours. You can see the schedule of games & activities we will go through.
We will go through the presentation of the group assignments - themes. I will share them on my screen and the team will have 10 minutes to talk about what they were creating. After all presentations, each member will assign points to each team. The categories will be: Layout, Content, Photography, All.
Then, we will have a few games. This will not be counted in the final vote, it's just for fun :) The games are going to be about guessing the author based on the images. I will share more about this soon.
At the end, we will announce the winning team. The winning team of "All" category will be featured on the cover of this magazine and will have a special pages for the interview about their photography & blogs.
The main team of the magazine issue will be: Food connects us.
We are coming from all parts of world, and I want this magazine to show your traditions, cultures, how we eat in different continents, and show how the food can connects us all.
