Samuel plans to create a tech magazine that provides unbiased reviews of the technology and equipment in his household, with the goal of challenging himself creatively rather than relying on past work. He will take minimalist photos to accompany the text reviews and utilize Photoshop's layer features to keep the design clean and engaging. Researching other tech magazines and unbiased user reviews will help Samuel provide valuable information to readers in a simple, visually pleasing format.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Initial Reaction
My initial thoughts leading up to this task was to create a product which didn’t take influence
from any of my previous projects and to create something completely unique, for the benefit of
boosting my creative outlook. My reasoning behind this decision is that, I strongly believe if I stick
to my roots I’m not challenging myself, which will negatively impact my potential and I’ll be
hesitant to try anything different in later projects.
My passion in the media world isn’t to create magazines or anything related to print, but more so
the filming and video editing aspect, however with my teachings on this course, I believe I’m
sufficiently adequate at managing the basic features of Photoshop and can produce something of
a decent enough quality. I’m especially fond of the ‘layer via copy’ feature using Photoshop,
which allows you to mask over a particular area of a layer using other layers, which keeps the
headlining image clear, whilst subduing lesser content and or titles which are still comprehensible
even when slightly covered; this in turn keeps the whole page looking professional and makes the
product overall more engaging/pleasing to the eye.
I’m thinking of creating a tech based magazine, which will allow me to pontificate upon at length
about the technology/equipment around my household and give a valid, unbiased review upon
each and to why I enjoy there functionality, with imagery alongside the text, of the product itself.
6. Mood Board Analysis
Is there any repetition in the images you have collected? Repeated
colours/images styles/fonts/tone/mood
The main colour scheme used in my mood board stretches to both ends of the spectrum, with a mixture of
whites and blacks splayed around the collected imagery. This basic pallet of colours share connotations of
simplicity which work towards the transparent element many manufactures try and convey through their
advertisements, which in turn keeps their products user friendly and for the most part I think they achieve
this, because there are no vibrant aspects which take away from the product itself; with apple being the
front runner in this particular style of commercialisation.
Similar to the imagery, any text used in this mood board shares the same simplistic features, keeping it user
friendly, without enveloping the user in masses of complex technical information; which relieves consumers
of headaches, from reading through such texts.
How will your mood board influence your final product?
I believe that simplicity is key when it comes to technology. Everyone wants something that just works out of
the box whilst looking professional/stylish in the process, much like apple who are the kings of making
everything look effortless. Including their clever advertising campaigns, which give consumers just the right
amount of information and imagery to draw buyers in by the droves.
7. Schedule
WEEK OVERALL PLAN SPECIFIC TASKS
1 Research, Initial Response,
