I have edited images using Photoshop for my introductory double page spread and magazine cover. For the artist image, I used the magnetic lasso tool and eraser with a blurred edge to softly crop the image and flip it so the artist faces the opposite direction. For the magazine cover key signifier, I cropped out the background and shadow using only the eraser tool to avoid jagged edges and retain high image quality for the cover.

Image Manipulation
The document discusses image manipulation for a magazine cover and articles. For the cover image, the landscape photo was cropped and resized to fit the portrait page and background was removed. A feature article photo was slightly enlarged to look more zoomed in and brightness/contrast were increased to make the model look bolder. For the main sell line image, only the background was removed to showcase natural shadows giving a mysterious, grungy appearance fitting the indie magazine theme.
Pages 33 to 37
The document discusses technologies learned during the process of constructing a magazine product. Microsoft Office programs like Word and PowerPoint were used for planning, analyzing existing magazines, and creating questionnaires and proposals. Adobe Photoshop and InDesign were used for designing the magazine cover, contents page, and spreads to make it look as intended. Photoshop tools like magnetic lasso and drop shadow were utilized to edit images and text for a more professional appearance.
Question 6
To create their magazine content, the document discusses using various design software and editing techniques. For the front cover, they used the font site dafont.com to create the masthead title and image placement for additional elements. On the contents page, they deleted part of an image's background using selection tools and changed it to black and white. For the double page spread in InDesign, they used columns to structure text, blended images into the background using effects, and varied text colors, sizes, and fonts to highlight information. Overall, the techniques helped create a polished, professional aesthetic for the magazine.
Image Manipulation
The document summarizes edits made to a magazine cover design. The author enhanced the main image brightness and exposure in Photoshop, adjusted the color curves to match the magazine style. They moved design elements like the masthead and model credit slightly, added more coverlines and a price sticker. The author also included a barcode to make the magazine look more professional with the issue number and price. They manipulated images to move models closer together to crop the space and make room for more content, which took the most time to carefully select and move one model without losing detail. The author erased part of the masthead blocking one model's face by keeping images on different layers and organized.
Improving my double page spread
This document describes improvements made to a double page spread layout. The author first deleted images and straightened blue borders. An image from content was then added. Next, the author altered the sell line and added a top shape to make the page more interesting before placing it into InDesign. Finally, the author added an article and page number to the InDesign layout.
Manipulation
The document describes how the author used Photoshop to edit an image for a contents page. They cropped the width of the image and used the magnetic tool to cut out the model from the background. After cutting out the model, they copied her onto the contents page. The author was pleased with the effect and also used Photoshop to cut and paste stars onto the front cover.
Photos and Screen grabs
The document describes photo editing choices for a magazine spread. For the front cover, the artist makes direct eye contact and the background is cropped while applying black and white and erasing gold colors to showcase wealth and success. For the contents page, the vertical image shows strong posture and facial areas are lightened to match the dark color scheme. For the double spread, both images are cropped and one is lightened on the face while the other is enlarged behind text with decreased opacity to visualize success through confident poses.
Process Of Double Page Spread - Image
This document describes the process of creating a double page spread for a magazine. The author used the magnetic lasso tool to crop two images of an artist so they could be placed on the spread without backgrounds. Both images were adjusted for brightness, contrast, and levels, with one image given a stronger effect and lower opacity so it stands out behind the text on the spread.

Editing
The document summarizes the steps taken to edit a photo for a magazine. The photographer first cropped the image to the magazine size. Exposure and curves tools were used to balance shadows without losing the aggressiveness conveyed by the shadows. Brightness and contrast were increased to expose highlights and lighten shadows slightly to reflect the red, white, and black color scheme of the magazine. Color was adjusted by adding red and orange hue to make the subject look warmer and more vibrant in line with the genre. Vibrance was increased when the color became too dark. Final adjustments balanced the color in the subject's face and blurred the backdrop with a Gaussian blur brush.

Changes to my Images
The document describes how the author created an image by cutting a door from one photo and pasting it into a second photo to include all desired aspects. However, the combined image has the wrong shape for the intended front cover, so another photo will need to be taken for the cover while this image can be used for the contents page instead.
Question 6
I used Adobe Photoshop and InDesign software to construct my magazine. Photoshop allowed me to manipulate images and work with layers, making it easy to alter specific areas. It helped make my magazine look more professional by adding effects like drop shadows. InDesign let me layout my double page spreads and place images and text. I also used other software like SlideShare and Prezi for presentations and blogs to help plan my magazine construction. Through using these technologies, my skills with Photoshop in particular improved, allowing me to better edit images.
Creating picture for front cover
I used the Pen Tool in Photoshop to cut out the background and floor from a photo, focusing only on the subject. The Pen Tool allows clicking points around the subject to create a path, which can then be used to delete the areas outside and isolate the subject. This cropping process zoomed in and out as needed and resulted in a cleaned image of just the subject to use on the magazine cover.

Light trails
Long-exposure photography techniques capture movement through blurred trails. This document discusses using these techniques to create star trails by tracking celestial object movement with a slow shutter speed. While most photographers do this on busy roads, the author was only able to recreate light trails in a still photo with their basic camera. They discovered Adobe AfterEffects software can similarly edit video clips to distort shapes and blend speeds to generate light trails, which is what the author has tried to do for their music video by adding echo effects.
Bokeh
Bokeh is a Japanese photographic technique that blurs out-of-focus areas to improve aesthetic lighting quality. It can change the size and shape of the blurred areas. The document discusses creating a DIY paper bokeh filter by drawing shapes and attaching them to a camera lens with an elastic band. While this changed the shape of the blurred areas, it did not have a strong enough effect. Exchanging the camera lens for a higher quality 50mm lens with a larger aperture achieved the desired bokeh effect.
Focus Group
The document asks for an interpretation of a concept or narrative explored in a video, which favorite parts stood out, and whether the video is representative of the indie/electronic genre. It also asks what didn't go as well and could be improved.
Image files
This document discusses image and footage files. Images and videos are important digital assets that can be used across many platforms and devices. Proper file formats, naming conventions, and organization are key to ensuring images and footage can be easily accessed, searched, and reused.
Storyboard
The document discusses plans for shots in a music video. It proposes opening with a long shot of the protagonist reflecting in an urban setting, then walking away from the camera. Later shots would involve a performance by the protagonist singing happily to the camera to create a positive mood. The document considers using different weather conditions and bokeh lenses and effects to subtly convey deeper emotions beneath the surface happiness and to thrust the viewer from an uplifted state back to reality.

Eminem - Mockingbird
Eminem's music video for "Mockingbird" features old home video footage of him with his daughters and their mother. The video depicts Eminem alone, watching these old videos and lamenting not being able to be with his family as his career requires him to be away. Through personal lyrics directly addressing his daughters, the video shows Eminem's love for his family and desire to protect and support his daughters, despite being physically distant from them due to his work and their mother struggling with addiction issues. Intercutting old home videos with scenes of Eminem's success and coverage of his wife's legal troubles, the video uses nostalgia and sentimentality to provide context for the song's emotional lyrics and

Music Video Analysis - Love Me (The 1975)
1) The music video for "Love Me" by The 1975 uses cardboard cutouts and other imagery to parody celebrity culture and fandom.
2) It depicts the lead singer interacting in comedic ways with cutouts of celebrities while also objectifying women.
3) Through these techniques, the video comments on the superficiality of the music industry and modern representations of gender, but is intended as an in-joke for their fans rather than a serious critique.

By Dr. Vinod Kumar KanvariaA Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Image Manipulation Record
- 1. Image Manipulation Record On myintroductorydouble page spread, the key signifier is a large image of my artist. I have usedphotoshoptoedit this image inorderto achieve the lookIhave created. I used the magnetic lasso tool and the eraser with a blurred edge in orderto softlycrop thisimage.Likewise, I have flipped it round so that he is facing the opposite direction. The same technique has been used to edit the key signifier on my magazine front cover; I have cropped out the background and the shadow, but in this scenario,onlywiththe erasertool asthe magnetic lasso created a jagged edge and ruinedthe qualityof the image.This manipulation has made it so that I can use this picture on the cover of my magazine and retain high definition.
