The document describes the process of editing photos for a magazine spread. The editor uses the clone stamp tool to remove unwanted artifacts from the photos like footprints, stray hairs, dirt, pen marks and stray fibers. Across multiple photos of the same model, extraneous details are cleaned up for a polished final look. The last section compares two similar photos, selecting one for its better lighting and removal of distracting white marks via the clone stamp tool.
3. production experiments
The document describes the process the author took to create a mock magazine cover and double page spread as an experiment. For the cover, the author did research on magazine conventions, chose an image from Google, added a masthead and headlines using bold fonts and colors. For the double page spread, the author struggled with the new design software but was able to include a large artist image, headline quoting the artist, and article about the artist's career pulled from another magazine. The author reflected on including consistent layouts, conventions, and a musician image in the final product.

She documents photos taken on her phone and in the studio and experiments with Photoshop effects. Overall, identifying and planning for technical problems aims to help Olivia's production go smoothly.
Research 1
The survey responses provided useful information for the FMP project. The majority of respondents were female aged 18-24 who enjoy photography. Most preferred edited photos in color and thought portfolios best displayed photos. Respondents used phones and edited photos, photographing themselves, friends, and nature. While some didn't know fine art, over half did, supporting the project theme. Questionnaires confirmed attendees heard of galleries through online/famous exhibits and would attend a photography exhibit.
Contextual research
This document provides context for Olivia Waller's final major project (FMP) in fine art photography. Originally, she planned to do landscape photography but became interested in fine art after researching other portfolios. She has decided to create a fine art photography portfolio to showcase her edited photos. She feels confident in this choice because she has successfully completed similar projects like a fanzine in the past. The document also discusses several artists - Jeremy Blincoe, Oleg Dou, Vee Speers, Lucia Emanuela Curzi, and Silke Bachman - that inspire Olivia's style and techniques.

The research will help inform the selection of techniques for the FMP fine art photography portfolio.
Fmp pre proposal
The student wishes to create a fine art photography portfolio for their final major project. They have always enjoyed photography since their father inspired them to take photos using his professional camera when they were younger. Doing a project based on photography will allow them to enjoy creating something they have always been passionate about. They plan to research different photography styles on Instagram and will aim to have an interesting visual style throughout their portfolio that appeals to audiences and keeps them engaged. The mood of their photos will be interesting in order to keep viewers enjoying and wanting to see more, as too serious of a mood may make the photos harder to enjoy. They decided on including a variety of edited photo styles to promote their work to a wider audience and grab attention.
Factual Written Elements
This document provides recipes for three cocktails: a gin lemonade cocktail made with gin, lemonade, and a lemon and lime calippo blended together; a mint lime rum cocktail made with rum, lime, raspberries, mint, and sugar muddled together and topped with club soda; and a strawberry daiquiri made by blending rum, fresh and frozen strawberries, and lime juice into a smoothie.
Factual Evaluation Fanzine
Olivia evaluated her project and identified several key learnings. She realized the importance of time management and setting a schedule to stay organized and meet deadlines. Her research of an existing fanzine was a strength that informed her theme and design. Creating mood boards and style sheets during planning helped her decide on colors, fonts, and layout. However, she could have expanded her research beyond just cocktails to food and drink for more design inspiration. Overall, she was happy with the final designs but recognizes the need to improve her planning and research processes for future projects by adding more depth and detail.
Factual Experiments Fanzine
The document discusses several experiments Olivia Waller tried based on YouTube videos. The first experiment was very easy but not skillful enough for her project. A second experiment with droplets was new but easy to follow online instructions for. A third colorful experiment could work on the magazine cover. A final experiment was fun but too random for her production.
Theory Essay
The document discusses how social media can negatively impact the mental health of women aged 16-24. A study found that teens who used social media for 7 hours per day were more than twice as likely to be diagnosed with depression compared to those who used it for an hour a day. Frequent social media use can cause feelings of inadequacy from unrealistic depictions of others' lives and cyberbullying. Celebrities like Selena Gomez have also struggled with addiction to social media and its negative effects on mental health.
Theory research
The document discusses research on the effects of social media usage on the mental health of teenage girls aged 16-24. A UK study found that excessive social media use was linked to increased depression and anxiety in girls through factors like lack of sleep, cyberbullying exposure, and less physical activity. Frequent social media users were more than twice as likely to be diagnosed with depression or receive treatment. The risks were greater for teens spending more than 3 hours daily on social media. Negative impacts can include feelings of inadequacy, isolation, and depression from social comparison and prioritizing online interaction over real relationships.
Factual Production Refection Fanzine
Olivia created a cocktail magazine fanzine over 9 days, editing photos in Photoshop and designing layouts. She made fruit garnishes as main features, getting faster with practice. Olivia experimented with layouts, settling on a scrapbook style with polaroid templates. She found fonts to make titles stand out and tie the color scheme together cohesively. Overall, Olivia is pleased with how her fanzine turned out and thinks it will appeal to her target audience.
Factual Final Design Fanzine
This document appears to be a fanzine created by Olivia Waller. A fanzine is an informal publication created by fans of a particular cultural phenomenon for the pleasure of others who share their interest. The fanzine discusses topics related to Olivia Waller's interests and is intended to share those interests with other fans.
Factual proposal
1. Olivia Waller proposes a fanzine about cocktails targeted at 18-24 year old females and males from upper middle class backgrounds. Research will include cocktail recipes, photos, and an interview with a mixologist.
2. The rationale is that Olivia developed InDesign skills on a previous magazine and will apply them to make the fanzine look professional. Researching cocktails will provide content for the fanzine pages.
3. Olivia will take screenshots throughout to evaluate progress, reflect on changes, and analyze what worked and didn't work for future projects.
Factual Audience Research Fanzine
Olivia Waller conducted research on the target audience for her product. Her primary audience is 18-24 year olds, who often go to pubs and bars. Research showed that alcohol, especially beer, is popular across the UK. Her primary gender is female, and research found that vodka is most popular among women. Additional research covered average incomes, drinking habits, popular jobs and psychographic profiles to help appeal to and understand the target audience. Primary research in interviews provided additional insights. The research aimed to ensure the product will relate to and appeal to the target age, gender and demographic audience.
Factual Planning Fanzine
Olivia plans to create a fanzine about cocktails with a feminine theme. She will include recipes and photos of 3 cocktails, an interview with a mixologist, and a photo gallery. Olivia has selected pastel colors and feminine fonts for the design. Each cocktail page will feature the recipe, instructions, and a photo of the drink. She has created a production schedule and will take safety precautions when working on the computer such as regular breaks and backups in case of technical issues.
Factual Research pro forma
This document summarizes research from 4 fanzines about food and drink. It finds that the fanzines commonly include photos, recipes, reviews, tips and instructions for preparing ingredients and cocktails. They aim to represent interests and social groups. The fanzines were created digitally and include colorful photos and layouts to appeal to audiences interested in food, drink and cooking.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

3. fmp production experiments
- 2. Process This is my T-shirt experiment for my project. The original photo I used is under the experiment to show exactly what I have done and how I changed the photo. One of the tools I used on my experiment was the text tool as I have added the bands name at the bottom of my T- shirt to show the name and grab attention. It helps for the audience to see straight away who the band is. The font I have used for my band is girly but easy to read and helps to show the bands personality. I used the magnet tool to cut around my band to help them stand out from the rest of the T-shirt. This is the main focus of the T-shirt so that is why the rest is simple as the photo used needs to be the main part. I cut the background out of this photo with the magnet tool to just have the girls so that nothing takes the audiences eyes off the 5 girls. I also used the magic wand tool to cut out the angel halo to add to the theme of my band. Adding the angel halo adds more detail onto my T-shirt giving it more colour and giving the T-shirt more of a girly theme to help involve the audience with the personality of the band. Overall I like how my final experiment turned out as I think it is simple but effective for the band. It will appeal to my audience because it is easy for everyone to wear and be interested by it. With it being plain and simple it is easy for it to appeal to my audience and help it all suit them and enjoy the product.
- 3. This is my experiment for my CD cover. I have used a range of tools for the experiment. The photo I used is shown so you are able to see what techniques I have used and how I have changed the original photo. I used the magnet tool again on this as I need to cut out the background. This is to create the main focus of my CD cover which is the photo of the band to show who that CD is made by for the audience to show an interest. Another tool I used was the text tool to add text to my CD cover to add the bands name and the name of the album. I think in my final product I will change the name for the album as I do not want this experiment as the name. I have used another angel halo on this experiment and used the magic wand tool to cut the background out of the halo to have it on its own. Having the halo on my CD creates a link with T-shirt giving the band a theme and something for the audience to notice them by. I used the shape tool to create the boarder for my cover and changed the colour to make it look like the structure of the cover. Overall I think the finished experiment turned out well, I would like to change the album name as it isn’t what I want to call it in the final project and I would like to add more detail to make it look more effective and realistic. This will appeal to my audience as it has a girly colour scheme which will suit my target audience best and includes a photo of the girls with the angel theme throughout.
- 4. This is the experiment for my magazine article. A tool I used is the bucket tool to fill in the background to one colour making the magazine look simple and all one colour, I think for my final product I will change how bold it is and make it lighter and less bold as I think it can take away the attention from the rest of the detail which is more important. I used the text tool to add text onto the project, this is the most effective tool I used as it makes it look the most like a magazine article. I have used the text in different ways to give different attention e.g. I have made the title of the magazine a different font and made it bold to grab attention so it is the first thing you read and are interested in whereas the font used for the actual text for the article is simple but there is enough there to grab attention and makes you want to read it. I think for my final product I will add more detail about the band to help the audience be more involved and help new people be interested. Also for my final product I will use a photo of the band that fits with the other half of the page as the photo I have used is not portrait to fit into the page making it look less realistic. Overall I think that it does look like a magazine article but I think some detail needs to be added to make it look better and more realistic. It will appeal to my audience by having a easy to read layout and include photos of the band showing the audience who the article is about.
- 5. Reflection • What elements of your experiments will you include in your final product? • On Photoshop I think the best thing that worked for cutting out my photo from the background was the magnet tool as I think you are able to get the best result from this technique as it is easy to use and can do it quickly and it looks good. • I will also use the magic wand tool to get rid of photos too and I think for a simple image it is the easiest to use and can do it fast to add detail onto the product. • The text tool is a main element I will use as I include text in all of my products to add detail and use it to make my products more realistic and how they are suppose to look. • Adding photos onto my products of the band is a element I will use as it helps to show who the band is and what belongs to them. • The layout of my magazine I am going to use in my final product as I think it makes it look more like a magazine article as that is the typical layout shown and the audience are able to see straight away that they are reading a magazine article. • I also like the layout of my T-shirt and CD cover so I will use the same layout for them as it looks effective you can see straight away what the products are.
