1.
2. WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES FROM
THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THE FRONT COVER?
3. The previous slide shows how I have constructed my front cover for my
magazine
‘’Miss Pop’’, I used Photoshop to the front cover and enhanced the
brightness of the
background allowing the main image to be the main focus. Also I was able to
add
texts, buttons, sell lines and a barcode to make my media product much
more
professional. In order to coordinate myself in creating my magazine I used a
flat plan
and existing pop magazines which gave my inspiration to construct my
4. A Canon SLR was used to take my front cover,
double page spread and contents page images
which allows me to make the photos the main
focuses of magazine. I focused the model of my
front cover by using enduring the brightness
however the photo began overly vibrant I
reduced this by using the brightness and contrast
tools on Photoshop. I learned how to used the
flash tool, as you can see for my front cover my
model is in a high definition light endured by the
yellow/cream background correlating with her
skin tone. I used the flash tool to provide good
lighting to emphasize the prop of the bubblegum
rather than making the background the main
focus of the magazine, as within pop magazines
what the artists costume, facial expression and
prop is the most important feature of the
5. WHAT WEBSITES DID YOU USE THROUGH THE PRODUCTION AS A
WHOLE ?
• I used different types of presentation websites to present my planning. I
used Prezi, Slideshare,Emaze and Youtube as I believe it brought my
presentations to life and also it allowed me to present my planning in
more finer detail.
• I have used blogger as it made the presentation process if my work
easier over a course period, I also used Dafont and a 1,000 and 1 fonts
as it allowed me to experiment when it came to the production process
of my magazine.
• My evaluation consists of Prezi, Slideshare, Emaze , YouTube and
Powtoon . These presentation software's allowed me to automatically
present my work in different formats and also gave my the access to
develop my explanations through using arrows, recorded voice
comments, and videos to explain my front cover, double page spread
and contents page.
6. WHAT POST PRODUCTION DID YOU USE SUCH AS PHOTOSHOP
AND ANY DESK TOP PUBLISHING SOFTWARE?
I used Photoshop for construction of all my photos, which were edited to make
my
Images more professional and also the images in my contents page were edited
to be
bright and vibrant. I used Photoshop in terms of my Photoshop using the
marquee
tool to layout to my contents page and double page spread, it allowed me to
ensure
that my paragraphs were in line and were the same width, it gave me the
advantage
to structure my double page spread accurately. When constructing ‘the letter
from the
editor’ section on my contents page the rectangle tool gave me the ability to
insert the
column efficiently.
