6. fmp production reflection
Celina opened a Photoshop file and placed a photo to edit. She used the magnetic lasso tool to outline the green leaves on the left side of the photo. She then selected inverse to make the background black and white while keeping the leaves green. This allowed the black bird to blend into the background while keeping the image interesting.
7. fmp evaluation
The document provides a summary of Celina Smith's final major project (FMP) evaluation. It discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the research, planning, time management, technical qualities, aesthetic qualities, and audience appeal aspects of the project. Peer feedback praised the variety of subjects and treatments used, while noting that some text accompanying the photos could have provided more context. Areas for improvement included having clearer focus in some photos and using brighter colors instead of solely black and white. Celina agreed that including more descriptive text could have helped the audience but disagreed with needing clearer focus or more color.
My photos and edited versions
The document discusses editing photos for a magazine spread. It describes cropping backgrounds, removing backgrounds in Photoshop, converting photos to black and white, overlapping images to create an illusion, adjusting lighting on a face with the burn tool, and selecting elements to change to black and white while leaving others colored. The goal is to professionally design magazine pages and a fictional band spread using various photo editing tools and techniques.
Stages of Production - Double Page Spread Article
Gregory McLaney documents the 11 step process for creating a double page spread article layout in Photoshop and InDesign. The steps include editing photographs, adding design elements like page numbers and mastheads, manipulating text, and using brushes and filters to link the two pages together with paint splatters. The final layout is designed to have a grungy, hip-hop aesthetic and feel cohesive across the spread.
Task 2 initial experiments
The document discusses different experimental photography techniques:
- Out of focus photography uses a low aperture and manual focus to create blurred images open to interpretation.
- Movement photography uses long shutter speeds to capture movement over 5 seconds, either of moving objects or using the zoom barrel.
- Reflection photography captures reflections for contrast, like of windows or eyes.
- Photomontage composites multiple partial photos of a scene in Photoshop to create detailed large images, though it is time consuming. Examples used 15-70 images per composite.
Contents page screenshot explanations
The document discusses image manipulation on a magazine contents page. It explains that the main image was manipulated similarly to the cover image to maintain consistency. Backgrounds were removed from two images to make them look more professional and avoid confusion. The third image was not manipulated as its background and lighting were relevant. Text was then added describing each page and explanation in different fonts for clarity. Social media links were also included to make the magazine seem more modern.
Technique screenshots
The document describes the process of editing a photograph in Photoshop. It explains how the author created new layers to insert another image on top of the original background image. They then adjusted the opacity levels of the inserted image to 63% to blend it with the background. Further editing included changing light and dark levels, applying an iris blur to select areas, and adding a dissolve effect to create an interesting curve combining all the elements.

This allowed the author to successfully meet the project requirements of having an image stand in front of the magazine title.
Clock evaluations
The document discusses an experimental photography project involving double exposure techniques. The photographer took a close-up picture of a clock and experimented combining it with images of a sunset and birds. Using Photoshop blending modes and a twirl filter, the photographer merged the clock and sky images to make it appear the swirling sky was part of the clock's design. While the placement of the birds looked slightly out of place, removing them left the image feeling empty. The photographer concluded the project was interesting but could be further developed with additional clock images from different angles.
Idea generation
This document discusses the process of creating a campaign poster. It includes sections on image selection, font selection, pre-sets and layout, and editing techniques. For the image selection, recycled photos were chosen that had dark colors and were focused. Two fonts from dafont.com, Valiant Times and Valiant Times Italic, were selected as they fit the theme. A pre-set layout was created as a blueprint, though it was later adjusted. Editing techniques included manipulating images to blend them and create shadows, as well as choosing a light yellow background color to create contrast. A mind map with multiple ideas was made to construct the overall project.
Content page powrpoint
Halima Khan created a content page for her magazine "N hits" that matched the layout of the front cover to maintain consistency. She chose the fourth photo she had taken and edited in Photoshop as the main image because it had a similar pose to the front cover photo, making it easier for readers to identify which magazine it was from. She further edited the main photo in Photoshop using photo filters and brightness/contrast adjustments to make it stand out more on the content page compared to the front cover images. Halima used a bright red color on the content page to distinguish it from the front cover but kept the recognizable "N" logo to indicate all pages were from the same magazine.
Evaluation: Question 6

2) Revisions across drafts focused on improving layout, balance of elements, use of color and fonts, making the masthead and images more prominent, and addressing feedback to create a more cohesive and appealing design.
3) The fourth draft of the contents page added a blue banner to balance the color distribution and improve readability of social media text by changing it to white. The designer was pleased with the outcome of this iterative design process.
Media evaluation
The document discusses the process of creating a rock music magazine by using existing professional magazines as inspiration and models. Key elements like mastheads, images, headlines, and layouts were adapted from magazines like NME, Kerrang, and Drummer. Photoshop was used to edit images for the cover and spreads. Indesign was used to design the overall magazine layout, but both programs were challenging to learn. The goal was to incorporate standard magazine conventions while putting an original spin on the designs.

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

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.

Double page spread improvements
- 1. Double Page Spread (Re-design) By Debbie Onyemelukwe
- 2. The feedback I received was to re-design the first draft of the double page spread. This included changing the main image as it was too small and didn’t take up the whole page, to split the text into separate columns and use the original family image somewhere else on the page. Upon acting on this feedback, I had to re-shoot the model, re-edit the image and change parts of the layout. Feedback
- 3. Starting over Although I had to re-design my double page spread, I wasn’t totally starting from scratch as I still had my original spread (as seen in the top right hand corner) to use as reference. The biggest change I had to work with was the image alteration as this picture would now take up the whole page, limiting the amount of space I had to work with on the left page. Using the original spread as a guide, the majority of change would be the layout, as the components within the spread would stay the same.
- 4. Fixing the trousers Somehow during the photo shoot, both the model and I managed to miss the fact the model’s flies were undone. Having noticed this whilst completing my spread, the image underwent some editing with the Clone Stamp Tool. I used this tool to essentially colour in the parts that weren’t supposed to be ‘open’. The trousers now look normal and will not draw any negative attention to the reader.
- 5. Arranging the other components Having already had the article title, leading text, the slug, the actual article, the anchor and the extra details at the bottom of the page, I played around with the positions of where they all should be. The image to the left is an example of one of the possible layouts I came across when experimenting.
- 6. Adding the pictures After arranging the components of my spread onto the pages in an appropriate way, I then opened four more family-orientated photos onto Photoshop. I had to resize them and cut them down to an appropriate size and to do this I used the Crop Tool. This tool enabled me to choose the section of the image that I wanted to appear on my spread. Choosing the size was rather important as I needed to think about the sizing in relation to the amount of space I had available.
- 7. Adding the frame After cropping the images down to an appropriate size, the next step was to add the frame around them. This step took slightly longer as I needed to use the get the photos onto PowerPoint in order to use the frame effect it has. After applying the frame onto the images, I then copied and pasted them onto my page on Photoshop and arranged them around the text.
- 8. The Family Picture This was the original main double page spread image, however from receiving my feedback, it has now become yet another component that is part of the whole spread. However, because it is the image that is most relevant to the article, I put it separate to the other, on top of the main image on the left page to draw attention to it.
- 9. Adding the sellotape I added the sellotape in order to give the spread a creative sense. The sellotape along with the slant of the pictures gives the effect as if a person has pasted these pictures onto the page. I got this effect from using the Brush Tool and then loading the brushes that are available on my school system. The one I chose was ‘Tape Tizzape’ which gave me a variety of sellotape effects to choose from.
- 10. The Conventional Layout Slug Image Anchor
- 11. As demonstrated in the previous slide, the layout of my spread follow the classic ‘C’ shape magazine arrangement. The slug seen in the top right corner, the image on the left page and the anchor at the bottom right hand corner of the page are all situated in positions which correlate with the reader’s typical eye flow. I decided to go with this convention as I broke the usual front cover convention with the gaze of the model looking down. The Conventional Layout
- 12. The (Second) First Draft
