2. On Photoshop I have learnt how
to sort out skin and to get rid of
spots. This is my main model
Tom but he had spots during the
photo shoot, as it is not my
intensions for my musician not
to have spots I used the magic
healing brush. Having the magic
healing brush helped me to get
rid of the spots and to smooth the
skin. I also used the cloning tool
to use the same colour tome
though out the skin so that the
image would be more effective.
3. I learn how to cut out
background on my images, this
helps me to get rid of any
features in the image that I do
not want inside my magazine.
Having the magic wand tool
has helped me to successfully
have the image I want and to
create the effect on my
magazine I intended to do. This
tool I have used I found useful
and I have used it though out
my images when needed.
4. I have used the layout style to
create more of an effective image
for all my images. I have used
this to make colours stand
out, create glows for texts and
other features and also fill shapes
in. For this image I have used it
to create a black and white effect
on the image which is what I
intended to do in my intensions.
5. I used the text tool to add in
text into my magazine, this had
helped me to construct upon
my text boxes and other
information on the mage. I
have also found using the angle
tool when having the mouse
over the corner of the image to
create more effect and use the
angle tool to fit in with my
intentions of where I wanted
text. Using text also had a
unique effect when using the
arch tool. Using this could bent
my texts and create shapes
using it.
6. Using the shapes tool I could
get a classic shape to go on
the title ‘Thomas Payne’, this
also made the font look
expensive. The shape tool
also helped me use the line
shape to create white lines to
underline the titles of the
information on the left and
right and thirds.
7. I created a background for my
contents page using the shapes
tool to make a white and red bar, I
then used the lighting tool to make
a glow on the colour and make it
stand out to be effective.
I used the lighting tool on all my
images to create a spot light effect
and make the model in the image
to stand out more.
8. The photo shop I used was Photo shop CS3 extended. This helped me to create
the whole of my magazine and the layouts. Photoshop helped me with all my
images to make them stand out, make the model look more attractive like
getting rid of spots and to show the musical blues genre in my magazine. Photo
shop has helped me to develop my skills in the media industry and to created a
media product that can be sold. I thing I have reached a professional standard in
my layouts and images and since the start of using Photoshop I have developed
to be independent on the soft wear.
9. I used slide share to upload my
power points to my blog, using this
has helped me to easily insert a
copy of my work onto a slideshow
data base. Having this on a data
base keeps my work safe but also an
easy way to have the power point
on my blog and for the user to read
through my research about my
magazine and my chosen genre
which is Blue’s.
10. I used YouTube a lot to watch videos on
how to use Photoshop. YouTube helped
me develop my skills on Photoshop and
helped complete my work to a
professional standard. I also used
Photoshop to present my presentations
and my research, this helped my upload
voice recordings and videos that I had
created to show my research in another
way instead of typing everything
11. I used Word press to create my blog on. This
helped me present my blog which I put all my
research and planning, photo shots of
development and my main magazine images
that I created on Photoshop. Word press let me
upload slide share power points, YouTube
videos and images to show my development
into the media industry. I also was able to
present information on all my areas of research.
12. I used InDesign to create my double page
spread. I was able to create a double page and
insert my images, texts, change font sizes and
styles. I was able to develop my skills on
InDesign in the time I had and create a
professional standard page that faced my
intensions.
