Front cover

week 1

i first started my magazine front cover of by putting a back back ground on. i did this because i knew it would look better with the white and red. it gives my magazine a sense of depth and black has the connotation of bad. therefor the audience will presume its about a subject quiet important. i then began to add my cell lines i thought i would pick some that would really intrigue my target audience and draw them in more so they would buy my magazine. i used a lot of questions to get the audience to really think about it. i then started to add some red on the number this is because my headline and main cell-line where going to be red so i had to ink it together so the colours compliment each other. 

week 2

i then added my headline i had to change the way it looked by going on effects and changing the lines around it so that it stands out more. i also used bevel emboss to make it have a more 3D effect i added perfection at the top in a font i downloaded because it fit really well with the magazine. 

week 3

after i did all of that i then decided to to the main cell line at the bottom but to make it stand out i made the 'i' a different colour but it still fits in well due to the colour of the other cell lines. i added the bar code and the price i wanted it to be noticeable but not to noticeable so i put it on the right hand side so its not the first thing they see because thye tend to read from left to right. i added the picture of my model and put it in the center and made sure i didn't stretch it so she looked the right proportion. 

This is my final product 

Vampire

Vampire

i have used the burn tool to make the lips darker, the warp tool to stretch the teeth and the sponge tool to get the skin grey. this means that she looks like a vampire.

Using curves

I used the curve tool on this picture to change the colours red, blue and green and that means that you can make it look more like pop art and let like a photograph. I did this by going through photoshop and selecting a photo first, i made sure that we could see the eyes on the photo so that i could also change the sharpness in the eyes. after carefully selecting my photo i went on to layer - new adjustments layer then clicked on curve this then came up with the curve layers and i was then able to edit the colours by moving the lines. for the red i made it into an s shape so get a nice soft colour that was not to strong and i also did this for the green but for the blue it was just a curve round so there was less blue in the picture than before. I then clicked on filter and selected the sharpen tool and went on unsharpened mask this aloud me to zoom in on the specific point on the photo that i wanted to change this happened to be the eye so i was able to change it but make it look soft at the same time.

language development

writing can be mad very informal if you write in 2nd person  and use  colloquial and youth language. sometimes this can benefit that particular audience because it means that it is aimed at them and they will understand it more. They are more likely to relate to the subject and actual understand what it is talking about. They are less likely to loose interest if ti is a similar level to that they communicate at. 

example:

Dude! Stop trying to loose weight yeh. just yolo! because if ya don't your gonna regret it big time. you want to just be free blud. Orite? bitches be getting in a mess cos ya think your a Fat lass but ya aint, your bootiful and canny. Trust me hun there aint nout wrong wiv you, honest pet. just chill mate you need to calm down and just have some banter, relax and be reem. And remember what ever happens you will always have ya swag (hashtag) yolo

3rd person- this would be aimed at an older more sophisticated teenager or adult. more likely to be aimed at soceoeconimc groups ABC 1 

example:

please stop trying to loose weight and be happy. its as if life isn't bad enough and then you go fret and worry your self about this silly diet. you are not big and you are not to skinny you are a normal size and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. if you keep up with this and try get skinnier than you are you could get a horrible illness like anorexia. but please just calm down and relax have a nice cup of tea and think about everyone that loves you for who you are like your family and friends. thanks. 

i have decided that my magazine should be like the second paragraph because it is more aimed at my target audience. 

Shutter speed Evaluation

Shutter speeds effect how clear the image is depending on the thing in the image. E.g. if it is a person running it should be at about 250 but if it’s a bike it should be 600. You would use a fast shutter speed to take a picture of a fast moving object like a car. Where as if it was a slow shutter speed it would be a person walking or jumping. Shutter speeds are very important for making sure that the picture is not distorted and is clear.

The problems the image could have would be because the objects are moving, it can be very hard to keep focus of the picture. If the camera is not in focus this will make the picture blurry and hard to see. Also because they are moving it is important to check the images after to see if you need to take some more. Finding the problems in the pictures is essential to you can correct them straight away.

One issue could be underexposure; this is when not enough light comes in through the camera lenses. This can cause problems because the sun could be to bright and you cannot focus on a specific point but it could also be too dark. This could happen when using a very short shutter speed; there was not enough time for an adequate amount of light to get through to the picture. Although the speed has to be shorter to correctly capture the movement in the image, a balance of the aperture and the shutter speed helps this balance be perfect as you can change the amount of light the camera lets through. Also letting the sun come in a certain angle can change how light or dark the picture is.

Also to solve these problems you could retake the image as a slower shutter speed but at the same time this may not work; simply because it might then be to slow to catch the thing in motion. You could retake the picture at a different time of day so that the light could either hit behind or even in front of the person. You could even increase the IOS speed on the camera so it makes it more focused.

Another problem you could have would be poor framing this is when the hands are cut of or body parts are missing or even that the subject is too far away so you cannot tell it is a frame shot. To solve this problem there are many different ways you could do it. For example you should review your image straight away after so that if it hasn’t worked everyone is still in same place and you can move them a little so you can get a better photo. The cause could have been you were taking it to quickly; you should just take your time and take the picture when you think it is in the perfect place. If the person is moving take several shots in a row so you have a lot more to choose from. 

This picture i think worked really well, i put this at- 1/500 because he was moving quiet fast and this meant if it was any lower it would not have worked. i choose this shutter speed so it was not blurry and caught the picture at the right time. i used manual focus so i could make sure it was a clear picture although it is harder than using automatic it can sometimes make a better picture.

In design

This is my indesign work i made lots of different column and added boxes to put my pictures in. to place my pictures i first saved them and the went to file place and then it let me choose the image of my choice i also decided to fit the text around the image by going around the image and getting it into different shapes so i can design around that. i picked a suitable font and i actually edited the picture of the rose with the ring original the ring and the rose where two separate pictures but on photoshop i put them together.  

Christmas album

Christmas Album

To do this i had to down loads some brush tools and think of a name for a band. to download the brush tools i had to go on brusheezy and click download after that i had to go copy it from my downloads to my personal folder. then i clicked on load brushes in photoshop and this aloud me to pick what brushes i wanted to upload. i then used these to create my album front cover. i used the paint bucket tool to paint the reindeer and used the gradient tool for the back ground i then used snowflake and antler brushes.
