Jay Birkin conducted an experiment creating a magazine page using various design tools. Bright colors like red, yellow and blue were used throughout with a dark blue text created using the Satin effect. Google images were used to find pictures related to fishing and water. The square shape tool was heavily utilized to form the general magazine layout. Text boxes were implemented to include writing. Some text was made bold to emphasize important points. The magic wand tool was used to cut out a logo. A drop shadow was added to the masthead words for effect. The rubber and move tools were used least for corrections and formatting respectively. Elements like the layout, fonts, and text effects will be incorporated into the final product, though the color scheme will be

2. Process
This is the image of the internet
which I mirrored off of for my
experiment which I basically
copied to the best of my ability in
my experiment up above. However
there were some small details that
I could not fit on my page and I was
limited to only getting images of
Google which most do not suit well
but I think it looks great.
The colour wheel was used in my project a lot more than
usual because there are bright colours all over using reds,
yellows and blues. The dark blue is actually made by the
effect which you can get on texts too, Satin which made it
darker.
The internet was used for my images in the making
this magazine. I had to search for different parts
including in fishing and pictures on the water.
The shape tool was used, I used the square a lot
because the squares form the general layout of the
magazine
The text box tool was
used throughout
because there was lots
of writing to include in
my magazine. Some of
the text is bold and this
emphasizes the point
that the magazine is
trying to make or too
show you that it is
amazing.
I used the magic wand
tool to cut out this
logo which had a
white box around it.
On the masthead of this magazine I included a drop shadow on
the words which gave a shadow to all of the letters for effect.
The two tools that were used the least
are the rubber, which was used in case of
a mistake and the move tool to make
everything fit together and look good.

3. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you
include in your final product?
– I am going to include a similar type of layout for my final product. The colour
scheme I will change though because I think this magazine is too bright and
colourful and mine needs to be more darker. The texts and fonts however are
great and I will include the same in my final product even some with the
effects on like boldness and drop shadows even with stroke as an effect.
