3. Research
• To start my project, I began with doing a lot of research which really
helped me improve my production as I had a clear idea of what to
do. I started with collecting existing products, and annotating them,
discussing the colours, fonts, styles and layouts. I began with
collecting images of existing child fashion magazines. With this I
noticed the use of gender neutral colours and the minimalism and
purity, which represents children on a whole. The magazine makes
the models seem happy and care free, which is a good way of
portraying children instead of it feeling forced, this was the main
thing I liked and wanted to use in my production especially. The
colours were very pastel themed, such as baby pinks and beige. The
fonts were delicate which symbolised femininity and mothering. I
did a lot of detail on the background of the magazine as it was in a
studio, however I knew I wanted to do my photographs outside to
represent nature and children playing without being stuck in a
studio; this was my first initial thought that I want to make my
photographs as natural and care free as possible, so the audience
would want there children to look happy and confident in what
they're wearing. I then did some research on an existing pregnancy
magazines, with babies as the front cover, as well as some skincare
magazines also for pregnancy. The main part of my research was
realising how to portray a young child appropriately, and this
magazine really inspired me and I wanted to create something
similar with the same use of colours, fonts and layout. When it
came to m production, I chose a similar theme for my cover to this. I
wanted to have a big image of the child conveying innocence, with
colours such as green, white and baby pink to give off connotations
of new birth, maternal instincts and love. I found researching
existing products definitely helped me with having an over all idea
on what I want I was set out to do, and therefore I had less
weakness' when doing my production.

4. I looked at an article on skincare during pregnancy,
which was extremely useful as I wanted to create
something in my production very similar to this. It gave
me a strong idea on what I need to involve, and made
me realize it is an article women would want to read. I
focused on the photographs used and the colors that
you link to skincare, as well as what to write about in
the article. It was after doing my research on this
skincare article I realized I definitely want to include one
in my production. I analyzed the language especially, as I
wanted my article to be endearing and persuade the
audience to buy the products. The layout was
something I also looked towards as I didn’t have a lot of
experience with making double page spreads and I
wanted it to look as professional as possible, I realized
after I analyzed this existing product that when it comes
to my article I will need to se guidelines on in design if I
want it to look this professional and in place. It was
after I research this article I knew I wanted to have a
layout in which the image is across the top of the page,
with a few little images then the text all together going
down wards. The colours used such as bright orange,
green, white and pink sent me on this path to using
them for my production, bright natural colours that link
to the products used within skin care. I definitely found
this article extremely helpful with my production, as I
wasn’t sure whether articles on skincare for pregnancy
were a common area of interest, turns out they are,
however it is also quite an original and unique idea for a
specific target audience.

5. Research
After annotating and researching existing products, I went onto doing my audience
research. This involved creating a survey on a website called survey monkey, with
10 multiple choice and open answered questions on pregnancy, parenting advice
and child fashion tips. I then put it onto blackboard where my class answered them.
I was really happy with the feedback I got back, as it showed me who my magazine
will appeal too and what aspects of it I should involve. After I had enough feedback
I observed each question and the percentage of results, what it said about my
audience, and how it will appeal to them. This was a big part of my process and I
found it quite beneficial for my production, as I realized this could be a very useful
and intriguing magazine for a certain audience. However, the one main issue in my
audience research was that it was a higher percentage of males who answered my
survey, as pregnancy is more aimed at women on a whole. However, due to it
being more males that answered my survey, I actually realized men also would be
interested on fashion tips and new borns, and preparing for pregnancy as well as
women. Therefore, my product now appears to men and women as I wanted to
make pregnancy and less stressful and scary experience, and make it more exciting
and relaxed. Without doing my survey I don’t think I would of thought of making
my audience both genders. This also influenced me to make my colors and style
tips for children gender neutral on a whole. Another issue is nobody who
answered my survey actually had children, so I couldn’t get an actual parents
perspective. Although, I had a high percentage of people saying yes to the thought
of pregnancy and having a child being stressful, so this had an impact on the focus
on my magazine making it enjoyable and a bonding experience. Doing my
audience research also helped with the age group I will be targeting my magazine
towards, obviously being old enough for children. I decided after collecting back
my feedback, I would aim for an age of 25-40 year olds. I didn’t take this into
account before my survey that there would be a specific age group, however it can
also appeal to people in their early 20's thinking about beginning a family and
preparing for pregnancy. In general I would say doing my audience research was
beneficial in some respects, however it would have been an advantage getting
feedback from people who already have children and been through pregnancy to
tell me what else I need to include. After doing my production, I would of asked
more questions on looking after you and your babies health, and asked questions
on whether skincare advice and diet tips would be something mums would be
interested in reading.

6. Planning
• To start my planning, I began with doing experiments.
For this, I completed a double page spread and cover,
practicing with adobe photoshop and in design- this was
a very big part of my planning as I learnt so many new
skills and felt a lot more confident to start my
production. I began with a skincare front cover. This was
my worst experiment I would say, however it was the
first and I was just adjusting to doing print again after a
few months. As I went on with my planning I learnt new
skills on photoshop especially, to create more depth to
my front covers and make my work look more skill full
than just the minimal. I wasn't too happy with my
experiment, and didn’t feel the cover had anything to it.
I didn’t actually use anything from this cover, as I felt it
didn’t include anything I wanted to involve in my final
production. However, it was good practice to began
playing around with photoshop again and making a
cover based on other existing magazines. One thing I
took from I then went on to practicing with a double
page spread which was an effective part of my planning.
I really liked the layout and the way I set out the text
along with the images like a header across the top of
the page. To start my double page spread I went onto in
design and create a new document using A4 which I had
already done a few times from my print project. Once I
had done this I began collecting images on skincare off
the internet. What I liked about this layout for this
experiment is the way I placed images across the
masthead, which gave it a collage like effect with the
use of images collected together. This was when I first
realised I wanted to use a collection of the skincare
products and placed them all over lapping each other,
instead of the basic images placed around the dps. I
wasn't 100% sure how I was going to do this in my
production but this is what first inspired me, the idea of
images being across the page as one. I also thought the
idea of images overlapping each other would be quite
fun and child friendly since its related to pregnancy and
children.

7. PlanningOne thing I did quite like and get influence
off for my production from this experiment
was the use of skincare images. The
products are a nice touch and the use of
fruit and citrus colors really inspired me to
use ones similar to this. I like the way the
fruit look fun and different, and obviously
still linked directly to skincare. The colors
really stood out, and colors of fruit and
plants are very natural and vibrant which is
the theme I wanted to give off. This is when
I realized I wanted to have images of
natural skincare products before they're
made, so fruit and plants mainly. I thought
the use of these kind of images would be
more eye catching and intriguing for a
magazine towards mothers and children, as
it would bring out maternal instincts. The
colors and graphics of fruit and plants
straight away work with what I wanted to
put across, vibrant and natural and
connotations of new life and birth-
everything the magazine includes. This was
the one thing that creating this front cover
managed to influence me with and I ended
up bringing this idea to life.

8. Planning
•To start with my experiments, I took some photoshops of my own using
the cameras from college and then went on to editing them on the
software adobe photoshop, to end up creating something polished and
professional looking. With my photoshop skills, I wanted to expand my
knowledge on taking photographs and editing them on photoshop using
more technical and advanced skills. This was an interesting experiment as I
learnt more about the tools of photoshop that could make a simple and
minimal photograph into something more appealing to the eye. I started
with taking photographs on a camera, zooming In closer on images like
this one and keeping the focus high so it still looked good quality and high
definition. I then downloaded the images onto my computer and then
could access them onto photoshop where I played around with the
exposure of the image and airbrushed the face of the model so the photo
had a similar resemblance to what you would see in a magazine, instead of
a basic image with no editing involved. I found this was the most helpful
part of my planning before I started my production, as without doing
these experiments I don’t think my out come would have been the best it
could be. I found I learnt a lot doing these experiments with photographs I
had taken, and I got the time to finally explore photoshop further. I really
enjoyed editing this image as the photograph included a model and a
cosmetic product, and the model is posing into the mirror at herself doing
her make up. The photograph to me looks quite professional how I
captured her act, and adds depth to the character of the model and
product. It is a photograph that would appeal to men as it is quite
seductive, but also women as they would aspire to look like this
themselves , therefore selling the product through model
endorsement. To do this I used these tools:
•1. firstly I Duplicated the background of layer.
•2. secondly filter, blur then surface blur.
•3. options for 'radius' in threshold.
•4. Eraser tool, delete everything (not skin related) clothes, background,
mouth, eyes and hair.
•5. I then duplicated background of layer again and hid the surface blur
layer.
•6. background copy 2, brush tool (as soft as possible) and opacity 40%
•7. I then held alt to bring eyedropper tool, this picks out a better skin
tone.
•8. I started brushing in areas which were needed such as blemishes,
under the eye, un even skin tone.
•9. I dropped the opacity air brush layer to 20% and then the opacity for
surface blur layer also to 20%.
•10. I finished by making a new layer, where I took a white brush paint
inside the eyes for a subtle glow and sparkle.

9. Planning
For this experiment, I went onto photoshop and opened a new file, pressed open and uploaded a
photo from my downloads that I had took myself. To get this photos onto my computer, I took out the
SD card from my camera and emailed the photos to myself once they were uploaded onto my desktop.
I had to extract the photos and then put them all into a zip file, where I then was able to access them
and place them into photoshop. To edit my photograph, I decided to firstly use the spot healing tool to
get rid of any marks on the wall, as I was un able to use the studio background. This tool was really
useful as it made the background look clean and fresh, when it was musky and you could see dents
which distracted you from the product and didn't look as skillful or professional. I then went over the
marks with the spot healing tool and simply clicked on the places I wanted to airbrush and they
disappeared. I also went over the tool with my hand, as again there was a few cuts or blemishes on the
skin that made it look less clean. After this I clicked on image in the top left hand corner of photoshop,
went onto adjustments and clicked on 'lightness/contrast tool'. With this I was able to slide across a
bar adjusting the lightness then mellow it down with the contrast tool. This was useful with it being a
sliding bar, as you can test out where it looks the right balance and not too illuminated or harsh on the
eye. The lightness created a fresh background which is what I wanted to achieve, and looked more
artificial and glowing. The contrast tool created a harmony for the correct overall tonal range of the
image. It made the gold tinges of the product come out stronger, and the background whiter.

10. Time management
I think for my FMP, I managed the time of
my research, planning and production
the best I have for any other project I
have done through out the year. I think
this was due to the fact I created a time
schedule for each week, with detailed
notes of what I need to include and do
so I am not behind on anything. We
created this after our proposal in the first
week, making a timetable with each
section of the project and what I will do
that week. I wrote specifically about
what to write about and what I will
create for each task. I found the more
detail I put in, the easier it will be for
myself which turned out to be true. I told
myself which websites and software's to
use, and what I need to include in order
to get the highest grade. The only fault in
this time management schedule, was if I
added something extra into my work I
would need to go back and add it into
the time management so it was accurate
and up to date with what I was
completing in the time scale.

11. Technical Qualities
1. To produce my work, I used two software's. Adobe in
design and photoshop. Technical wise, these worked
really well for my production and I had no issues
throughout. I already new how to open a new
document on photoshop and in design from my past
projects, and it’s a really simple thing to do. You open
the software and select file, new and choose the
correct measurements for the document you want
whether its A4, 2 pages, etc.
To create a DPS on in design:
1. Choose File > Document Presets > Define.
2. Click New in the dialog box that appears.
3. Specify a name for the preset and select basic layout
options in the New Document Preset dialog box. (See
New Document options for a description of each
option.)
4.Click OK twice
5..How I added my Pictures in InDesign
•Open Adobe InDesign.
•Open the InDesign document you will be working from.
•Click File>Place in InDesign's Control panel.
•Drag and place your picture to your desired position and
click your mouse.
•Adjust the size of your picture, if necessary, by selecting
the picture using your Select tool and clicking one of the
handles (small squares) located on the frame.
For my mastheads and taglines, I downloaded a font off the
website dafont.com. This was really simple and easy to do, and it
was the right style of font for my DPS. It was the only website I
used for my fonts and I found it had a huge variety to choose from
that I could work with, I had no issues and got the right styles I
needed to fit my themes. To do this I simply:
1. Go to http://www.dafont.com.
2. Click a font category.
3. Scroll down to browse the fonts.
4. Click Download.
5. Locate the font file and extract it.
6. Double-click the extracted folder.
7. Install the font.

12. Aesthetic Qualities
For my pre-production, I did a lot of work on my aesthetic
qualities of my production. I look at things such as fonts ,styles,
colors and layouts. I made practice covers and double page
spreads experimenting with these features. This is what finally led
me to my final outcome, and helped me to decide more in detail
what I wanted to include and the specific styles. I started with
style sheets on colours. This was a really useful task as it made
me realise what colours I need to include due to other existing
magazines on pregnancy and child fashion. The colours I found
worked best from doing my style sheets were pastel one such as
baby pinks, whites, beige and browns. These colours were all very
neutral which is what I wanted to express for childrens
clothing. As I also wanted to talk about female child fashion,
these whites and pinks are perfect for this as most children who
are girls wear these pastel colors as they are young and youthful-
so if I used these in my production it will be a child friendly
magazine. I also found these colors are quite earthly and natural,
which is what I want my magazine to represent. Children also are
seen as natural and not artificial so I should create this them
throughout. The browns and beige colors also link to gold which
signifies luxury and class, as my target audience is middle to
upper class I feel this color scheme is relevant. I used adobe
colour wheel to create these style sheets, this was a really useful
website and helped me with my design decisions. It also inspired
me to ensure my colours all link together, from the clothing in the
images to the background, taglines and fonts. I did separate style
sheets for the colours I will use for my magazine on skincare
during pregnancy, and my child fashion magazine. I used these
exacts colours for my magazines, so this was a really big factor in
my production, and found it really enjoyable finally having a clear

13. Aesthetic qualities
• I then went onto doing my font styles for my masthead and taglines. I knew from the beginning I wanted the style of my fonts to be quite
feminine, also focusing on alphabet styles to portray child like lettering. I didn’t actually use this type of lettering in the end, however my fonts
were feminine and appealing to mothers being my target audience. I wanted my fonts to be delicate and minimal as I felt this is what my
magazine conveys in general. The website I used for my fonts was Dafont.com. I found all the fonts I needed on this website, and it helped that
I looked at the types of fonts I would like to use before starting my production. I especially liked the calligraphy section on dafont and it was
subtle and effective, and very aesthetically pleasing. I found a font like this would give the magazine an overall artistic look, which in a way
creates more depth instead of just basic bold letters. I then also looked at colours of fonts and what works well, obviously also thinking about
the other colours involved to make sure the font stands out from the rest of the magazine. This color of baby pink is a very popular color for
existing child fashion and pregnancy magazines.
• This color has a big association to new born girls and tends to be the main color that is used for their clothing and toys. I thought about using
this color for my fonts as it signifies love and maternal instincts. I found it also in particular conveys care and comfort in a mother and daughter,
and of course is very feminine, therefore this color applied to my target audience. I did in fact use a lot of baby pink on my child fashion
magazine cover, due to these connotations It gives off. Personally I feel this worked exceptionally well for this magazine due to it being girls
clothing and it stereotypically being linked to young girls and mothers. I felt a font that simplistic like this would be good to use as it doesn’t
distract from the purpose of the magazine or the images, which is what I wanted my audience to look at first. In the end I kept my font a simple
style very similar to this, and kept it in the color white. I thought the use of a white font which was elegant and minimal conveyed a lot of pure
elements which I thought was important with it being based on children.

14. Aesthetic qualities This part of my pre- production
brought a lot of my ideas together
and I feel this is when I had a very
finalized idea for my skincare front
cover for pregnancy. I liked a lot
about this existing cover and it
influenced my final product a lot. I
think starting with the image itself,
with it being direct mode of address,
but it isn't forced and the child isn't
phased by the image being taken.
Without it being un natural and
exposing the child it connects with
the audience on a different level, in
a way mothers would look at it and
feel maternal. I tried to re-create
this in my production and feel I
managed this well. I liked the way all
the colors linked in together, such as
the pink outline on the dress is then
carried on through the title, and the
babies rosy cheeks. This technique is
also used with the child's big blue
eyes, then there is similar tones of
the blue subtly placed in the
background. As you can see using
this color scheme technique ties in
the whole cover to make a theme
that gives off a certain effect for the
audience. I also used this in my
production with similar use of
colors.
My finished cover
Existing cover that
influenced me
I think my cover includes similar aspects, but I added a lot of my own personal style and
techniques that I learnt along the way. Obviously they are my own images, and I added a
lot of shadows and back drops to create depth to the design element within the
background. I also used my own drawings which I will go onto talking about, but I feel
these made a big impact on the cover and has a lot of vibrant tones that make it fun and
exciting. I used a mixutre of colours that worked together, and this was due to my pre
production with the style sheets. I feel I stuck to this colour scheme well which made my
design element flow. One thing I would say I could improve on is the way my taglines
stand out, as you cant read them very clearly. I found these colours really approachable as
well as the image being subtle and showing a happy confident child, making my target
audience of mothers want their child to feel confident doing every day activities like
playing outside in the garden- I feel I achieved this in this cover.

15. Aesthetic qualities• This existing double page spreads have a variety of colors that I
included in my FMP. I used the different tones of green for sure,
as it has a lot of connotations of everything skincare represents.
For my production, I used these colors for my DPS on skincare. I
especially like the pinks with the greens, as it combines care and
love for yourself and a woman's health during pregnancy. I
decided the colors I will be using for my production will be
greens, white, yellows, and baby pink. After researching these
color schemes I realize these are the most common colors for the
topics I am approaching in my final major project. On the second
existing product, I like the use of a large number to attract the
audiences attention. The use of '40' being a bigger size font than
'best natural beauty products' draws the reader in and you
immediately look at the tagline and want to know the best
products for your skin. I wanted to have a similar layout to this for
my magazine, with lots of images of skincare products and text
around or below it, with images at the top. I liked the fact the
images on the second existing DPS have more artistic images that
look like they've been hand painted with water colors. This is an
interesting approach to images, and I liked the idea of doing this
for my own production. I liked the fonts that are used, they're
very feminine and delicate which symbolizes beauty on a whole.
This paint like technique for the images is very pretty, and
enhances the choice of colors that are used such as the greens an
yellows, created different tones and shading. I thought this would
be a good technique for my images as the painting effect is quite
child friendly and would make sense being used in a magazine
based on pregnancy and babies. This existing product drew me
towards a more artistic approach for my design, and it was
something I could easily produce on a software such as
photoshop then download it into Indesign.

16. Aesthetic qualities
I was really pleased with the color scheme I designed within this layout practice for skincare. I
didn’t think I would be able to achieve something that still looked professional with the colors
used such as greens and browns. However, these colors seem to really work with the images I
used off google, and the topic of skincare of course. After I created this layout, I knew I wanted
my DPS to look like this for my final production, with the use of images at the top almost like a
header, then text and a few smaller images next to this. I liked this layout as it covers the topic
with the photographs straight away and you know exactly what you will be reading, then there is
photos displayed next to the text to ensure you are interested and intrigued by the products the
whole way through. I didn’t use guidelines for this as it was done on power point, but I think it
still looks In proportion. For the header of images, I copy and pasted photos off google and
placed them like a mood board almost, to fit them all together. I think this makes the whole
layout look really fresh, and is something you would see in an existing magazine. I then went onto
doing a layout for my cover, this consists of a close up image of model Kate Moss, with a
masthead and taglines around the image. I think this cover is natural and exotic with the use of
greens and browns, and with the image right in center it catches the eye. I liked the use of a close
up image for skincare as it focus' more on the skin and endorses the audience, especially with the
image taking up most the cover. I re created a very similar layout to these for my production, as I
felt for skincare this worked the best. I found creating these layouts extremely helpful before my
production, and I was more confident with beginning my dps on in design. I used the same
colours and the layouts were more or less the same, with a few final touches to make it even
better, as these layouts were created on power point not in design.

17. Aesthetic qualities
This was my experimenting with a child
fashion magazine layout. I really enjoyed
this and think I mastered the aspect of
keeping things in proportion and in line on
a DPS. I think this DPS was really well
designed and I was really pleased with the
effort I put into this, even though it was
just created on power point. I think doing
this made a big impact on the quality of
my final DPS, as I felt I needed practice
when it came to the text and images, and
having some images a lot larger than
others has the potential to look out of
proportion, but this was not the case. I
liked the colours I practiced with but knew
for my final production I would want some
more bold and out going colour to make it
fun and exciting, as I feel the ones used
here are too dainty and pastel.

18. Finished DPS
This is my finished double
page spread for skincare
during pregnancy. I am really
happy with my dps, and
think its my favourite part of
my production. I think the
way I made a collage of my
images gives the dps
something unique, and is
very pleasing on the eye. The
colours used are exactly
what I wanted after doing
my research and realizing
what works best together. It
took me a while to put this
together, and it was more
time consuming than my
covers as I had to make sure
all the text was in
proportion, as well as writing
my article. It took me a long
time to enlarge the images
and move them around
whilst working out which
look better a smaller size
and which look good
enlarged. I decided the
products which I spent more
time drawing should be the
largest as you could see the
detail and I was really happy
with them.

19. Finished covers
These are my two finished FMP
covers. Over the course of this
project, I managed to become excel
my skills within photoshop and
finally create a finished product
that I was happy with. I think the
technique I found most effective
for an over all skillful outcome was
the use of drop shadows and
brightness/exposure. With my past
projects, I never felt my front
covers were up to standard and had
a unique look, however with these
ones I feel I achieved this. I am
really pleased I used my own
drawings for my images, as I think
this added a lot of personal style to
my products. The thing that really
made these drawings stand out I
found was the use of the saturation
tool on photoshop, as well as the
paint brush tool to go over with a
bolder outline and smooth out my
colouring in. I think this gives a
different look and makes the cover
intriguing with bright graphics.

20. Audience appeal
I chose for my audience to be young mothers in their 20’s-30’s who are new to parenting and are
seeking advice. For the social status I wanted it to be middle to upper class as the clothing will be
good quality and not cheap, yet affordable. My initial thought was that this kind of magazine would
appeal to this age group of mothers as they will find it comforting being new to parenting and it is a
fashion magazine with beneficial advice. It is aimed for women, but men can also read it to get tips
on dressing their child for the appropriate occasions. It's also aimed at mothers soon to give birth,
so they can prepare for the right colours and types of clothing they will require for a new born. I
thought this magazine could be something mothers could bond over, and talk about when in baby
classes and whenever they meet with friends. It makes the stress of preparing your babies wardrobe
pleasurable and a nice experience. For social status, I think middle to upper class is what I will aim
for as it means they can afford quality not quantity, and will understand fashion and letting your
baby feel comfortable and happy in what they’re wearing. As I also involved skincare for pregnancy
and your baby, I thought this was definitely more something women would be interested and
looking after yourself throughout out pregnancy is an experience for women. I wrote about this in
my proposal on the first week of production, so I had a clear mind set of what I was aiming for and
who it was aimed at. Knowing my audience appeal meant I had to stick to a certain outcome for it o
work, so this kept me on track and I was happy with my choice of audience. I feel my product is very
obvious what audience it is aimed at and shows the purpose through this.

21. Peer
Feedback

22. Feedback 1
• What did you like about the product?
• I liked the colour schemes and the layout of the
text along with the fonts used to show what the
magazine was about. I also like the title and
colours used for it.
• What improvements could have been made to
the product?
• I think to improve you could try and make the
text and any smaller images sharper and make it
easier to read.

23. Feedback 2
• What did you like about the product?
The style of the magazine is very unique such as the
handrawn qualities which really fit with the natural
theme. The lay out of the double page spread is very
good and I like the way you kept a consistent colour
scheme throughout.
• What improvements could have been made to the
product?
Possibly make a website to add another media.

24. Feedback 3
• What did you like about the product? I like the fact the
product looks very professional and you can tell
straight away what the purpose of the magazine is and
the audience is mothers/parents. I also like the
photographs as they are fun and its very natural with
the use colours.
• What improvements could have been made to the
product? Possibly make a portfolio of more
photographs ? As I like the images.

25. Peer Feedback Summary
• What do you agree with from your peer feedback? I agree that my magazine and DPS have a lot of
natural qualities which is what I was aiming for throughout. The use of my own hand drawn images
shows this and conveys a naturalistic approach which is needed when based around children and
parenting. I am glad that my peer feedback shows they also like this quality of my magazine and this
theme was shown through the use of my design. I agree that my colour scheme is consistent, as this
is something I worked really hard on keeping as a theme, with colours that work together as a
harmony and not anything to harsh on the eye. When it comes to what I could improve I agree I
could do with some more images of outfits for the child fashion magazine, and should maybe of
made a bit more time to create a website of this. I was thinking about doing this as I knew that
images would be appealing and from my feedback I can see that my peers liked the photographs
and images had drawn and taken myself. Another thing I agree with that I did well with was the
layout of my double page spread. I am really pleased my peers noticed this as I took a lot of time on
my DPS, making sure everything is in proportion and it looked all in place with text, images and the
title all placed right with the correct spacing. It took my a few days to sort out where my images
should be and placing them to make a collage took time as I had to enlarge and overlap everything.
Some of the feedback I don’t agree on as much is the improvements on text and images to make
them look sharper, as I feel I put a lot of time in to putting drop shadows on my photos and images
so you could see them better and they would have a sort of 3D effect. I also think because I wrote
an article and drew my own images, a website isn't really needed in order for my production to be
complete, as I think I have put quite a bit of detail into the products I have produced. However, all
in all I am pleased with my work and feel the feedback was mostly very positive.
