This document discusses potential problems and solutions for Grace Gilbert's project. It addresses issues related to internet/power outages, data storage and corrupt files, impacts of the pandemic like time management and equipment access, casting challenges, and ensuring ability to complete the technical aspects. Experiments are also summarized that focused on color grading footage and creating a broken mirror effect in Photoshop.
The document outlines a student's plans for creating a digital graphic narrative. It includes considerations for costs, available resources, production quantity, target audience, quality factors, codes of practice, regulation, copyright, ethical issues, and a production schedule. Health and safety risks are also addressed, such as risks of long periods sitting and using proper ergonomics. The student plans to create character designs, backgrounds, props, and text to develop a children's book using software like Photoshop over a series of sessions.
This document outlines potential technical and theoretical problems that may arise during a production project and proposed solutions:
1. Technical problems include the graphics tablet or computer breaking, running out of storage space, or programs not being available. Solutions involve keeping backups, deleting files, and using installed programs.
2. Theoretical problems include not having enough time, money, or transportation to complete the project. Solutions involve budgeting time, saving money, and finding alternative transportation if needed.
3. Eye strain from prolonged computer use is also addressed, with suggestions to take regular breaks, change activities, and reduce screen glare.
The document outlines potential problems the author may face in creating an animation project at home during the pandemic. These include issues with equipment, voice recordings being affected by background noise, ability challenges with software and drawing skills, time management and editing difficulties, and home life distractions. To address these problems, the author proposes making a detailed schedule, thoroughly researching tasks, dedicating focused time each day without distractions, and having others review work.
The author created an Instagram account and logo to promote their fanzine and gain followers from feminist accounts. They researched online printing options and chose Mixam, which printed 8 copies of their fanzine for £30.50. The author plans to attend a fanzine event in York in August to showcase and sell their fanzine, and has also uploaded it to Issuu and applied to sell it through People of Print and in the Travelling Man shop in York.
- The initial target audience for the project was females aged 16-26 who are interested in feminism and finding positive role models. No restrictions were placed on race, religion, or marital status.
- The target psychographics included those concerned about how their actions affect the world and wanting to make a positive difference through actions like recycling and fuel efficiency.
- Role models featured in the project were included to ensure the target audience would be familiar with them.
The document discusses the author's process of printing and distributing their fanzine project. They emailed printing companies for quotes and ultimately chose Mixam.com as the cheaper option. The author also researched ways to promote their fanzine, such as attending a fanzine event in York, creating an Instagram account featuring their logo and fanzine photos, and uploading it to the website Issuu. The goal is to attract their target audience and see how popular the fanzine becomes.
The student proposes creating a follow up to their previous feminist fanzine project with the theme of "Role Models". They plan to interview people around the world about their role models and why those people inspire them. The student recognizes evaluation has been a weakness in past projects, so they will keep a development diary and seek peer feedback during production to improve their evaluation. The proposal outlines a 20 week production schedule that includes research, experiments, planning, production, editing, and evaluation. The goal is to create a professional fanzine that highlights inspiring women and that people will enjoy reading.
The document summarizes a student's 36-page feminist fanzine project focused on role models, targeted at females aged 16-26. Through a survey of 11 respondents and examining popular feminist magazines, the student identified design elements to include - plain backgrounds for text/images to stand out, bold colorful front covers. Peer and target audience feedback prompted layout revisions. While wanting to include more features/interviews, time constraints prevented this. The student is pleased with the personal, professionally printed final product and is pursuing display and distribution opportunities.
The document summarizes the target audience, research, peer feedback, edits, and plans for distributing a fanzine project. The initial target audience was females aged 16-26 interested in feminism and positive role models. Research was conducted. Peer feedback suggested adding background color and aligning columns. Edits improved consistency but some text remained bulky. Distribution plans included printing, an event, Instagram, and Issuu.
This document contains feedback from three peers on a fanzine project. The feedback praised the illustrations but suggested improvements to the layout and formatting of text columns. One peer recommended adding more color variation. In response, the creator agreed that layout and text alignment could be improved. They were unsure about adding backgrounds but may try it in some places. The feedback was helpful to identify areas for refinement as the project is further developed.
This document contains peer feedback on a fanzine created by the author. The feedback provides suggestions to improve the layout and formatting of the fanzine, noting that some columns of text are not aligned properly. The art style and illustrations receive praise from peers, while some note the font sizes could be larger. Based on the feedback, the author would look to improve the text column alignment and consider adding background colors on some pages to make the fanzine less plain.
This document contains weekly development diary entries from a student working on their final major project to create a feminist fanzine. Over four weeks, the student focused on research, experiments, and problem solving. Their research included analyzing existing fanzines and magazines, conducting a survey, and secondary research. Experiments involved learning new skills like photography, graphics, and InDesign. The student identified potential problems and solutions, such as reloading software or printing on paper if unable to print the fanzine. They reflected on staying organized and on track during their project work.
The document outlines plans for a fanzine that interviews people about their role models. It discusses ideas for including poems, illustrations, and in-depth interviews in the fanzine. It also covers plans for layout, design elements like colors and fonts, potential interviews, and sample page layouts. The writer aims to create a fanzine they will be proud of that readers will enjoy learning about different role models through.
The document discusses potential problems and solutions the student may encounter during their FMP project creating a fanzine. Some key issues addressed include:
1) Equipment issues like camera or voice recorder malfunctions which the student plans to back up with a phone or extra memory cards.
2) Technical problems like computer crashes which the student will prevent by regular saving and using downtime to plan if needed.
3) Theoretical challenges like difficult interviews being solved by scheduling face-to-face meetings and recording video calls if needed.
4) Ensuring production stays on schedule by completing work before the deadline so production time can be fully used.
The finished product was complete and ready for use. It had gone through all stages of development and manufacturing without any issues. Customers would be able to start using and benefiting from the new product immediately.
The document discusses drafts of various titles and products that were developed. It includes 3 drafts each of titles for Michelle Obama, Jacinda Ardern, Jameela Jamil, and Rosa Parks. It also discusses drafts of printed fanzines, with the author noting changes made between drafts such as replacing an image found online with an original illustration to better fit the theme, or redrawing a blurry logo. Comments from reviews of early drafts by "Dave" are mentioned, as well as filters and edits applied to images in later drafts to style them for the fanzine.
This document provides context and planning details for a fanzine project highlighting role models. The student began by researching relevant practitioners like journalist Caitlin Moran and feminist magazine Fem Newsmagazine to spark ideas. Primary research through a survey informed content choices. Planning included a front cover featuring celebrity role model faces in pastels to appeal to the target audience. The student aimed to match aspects of this fanzine to their previous one for consistency.
Hannah Flowers is pursuing a project titled "The Year of Women" focused on journalism and independent publishing. She plans to create a follow up to her previous feminist fanzine with the theme of "Role Models" by interviewing people around the world about their role models and what inspires them. Hannah aims to improve on evaluating her work by keeping a development diary throughout the project and getting peer feedback midway through production. She provides a detailed schedule across 20 weeks to complete pre-production, production, evaluation, and presentation of her fanzine project.
The document lists drafts of titles for biographies on several prominent figures, including Michelle Obama, Jacinda Ardern, and Jameela Jamil. For each title, there are between one and three drafts listed. The document also indicates that draft one and two were printed, with the printed drafts listed repeatedly, and draft three was similarly printed.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
This document provides a weekly summary of the development of a student's final major project creating a feminist fanzine. In week one, the student conducted research on role models Caitlin Moran and the magazine Fem. They realized they need to widen their research to 3 topics. In week two, the student continued researching feminist theories and existing feminist fanzines and magazines. They created a survey to gather audience feedback. In week three, the student identified potential problems like software or funding issues and explored solutions through practice with recording equipment and graphics to prepare for production challenges.
To me media is about the intensity of words; it can dominate, it can spread ideas to thousands of people; it can make people think about the society which we have all become accustomed to. Becoming a journalist has been a long-held passion for me. I would like to work for a more liberal left leaning paper such as the Guardian and be the type of journalist who stands up for what she believes in. Over two years studying creative media production and technology, I have built my confidence in the media spectrum and gained experience writing for publications and undertaking work experience in journalism. I look forward to pursuing my dream of a career in journalism and believe I am well suited to the demands of a journalism degree because I have a passion

The cherry: beauty, softness, its heart-shaped plastic has inspired artists since Antiquity. Cherries and strawberries were considered the fruits of paradise and thus represented the souls of men.
Boudoir photography, a genre that captures intimate and sensual images of individuals, has experienced significant transformation over the years, particularly in New York City (NYC). Known for its diversity and vibrant arts scene, NYC has been a hub for the evolution of various art forms, including boudoir photography. This article delves into the historical background, cultural significance, technological advancements, and the contemporary landscape of boudoir photography in NYC.
2. PRACTICAL AND
TECHNICAL PROBLEMS
EQUIPMENT- I'm not too sure whether I will be taking
photographs or I will just be creating graphics. If I do decide to take
my own photographs I will use a college camera, I will take along an
extra memory card, if for some reason the camera goes wrong I
could always use my phone. If I do interview people face to face I will
use of a voice recorder, I will also keep the original recording just in
case someone turns round and says that isn't what they said.
POWER- If the computer
crashes or the power cuts out. I
have decided on two solutions, I
will try to remember to save my
work regularly, if there is a power
cut or the computer crashes I
wont loose much work and even
if I don’t save till I started I would
only loose a days work. My other
solution is when waiting for the
computer to unfreeze I can write
my articles or create a mind map
or a list on what I could improve.
BACKING UP- Throughout my FMP I don't want to
loose any work during this project, to prevent this
happening I will regularly save my work.
After ever day at college I will back my work onto another
memory stick under a folder under the date. If I ever loose
a work I can retain it from my other memory stick.
WORKING AT HOME- At
college it is the older version of
Adobe where as on my laptop it
is the newest version. Before on
other projects I have struggled
with using my laptop and then
not being able to access it on the
college laptops. To fix this
problem I will save my work
differently when using my own
laptop, or what I can do is bring
my laptop into college.
SOFTWARE- At college I use the Adobe
software, most of my product will be created in
InDesign or Photoshop. If the software doesn't
work I will try reload it if this doesn't work I will
move to a different computer.
STORAGE- On my memory stick I have
two years worth of work, this means I
barely have any storage on my memory
stick. If worse comes to worse and I run
out of storage I can use my emails and
desktop to store work until I can buy a
new memory stick.
3. I don’t want to loose any work during any project,
especially not this project! If my computer decides to
crash or my file has become corrupted (which has
happened before) it can be a right burden to restart
your work all over again. The last time this happened
it took me days to get my work back to the state it
was in before. When I produce my work I try to make
it into a detailed product, if I lost my work at the
production stage I wouldn't have enough time to
complete the project which I want to show to
everyone. To prevent this from happening every day
I will try save a copy of my work under a folder of
the date on the work I did. This means if something
did go I could revert back to this and I wouldn't have
to start all over again. I will also save my work
regular. If I did end up loosing my work I think the
end effect on my product would be disastrous. I feel
as though I would have to work really hard to try
catch myself up and even then it might not even
work and I will still end up with a messy unorganised
BACKING UPWORKING AT HOME
Over the two years I have come across some
problems which have hindered my production work.
Last year I found this problem between my laptop
and working at college. The software which I have on
my laptop is more up to date than the software at
college. When I am working at home and I save my
work on my memory stick, it wont let me open the
document on college computers and wont let me
convert the file to the older version. In the space of a
year I have found out how I can fix this problem. The
best thing to do is save the file as ‘CS4 or later’
format. This has meant that I can access the
document on the college computers. If I decide to
do work at home and forget about saving it in this
particular way then I wouldn't be able to do the work
which I had planned to do on this day. If this was the
case I could bring my laptop into college and use my
laptop instead of wasting a day doing something
which I hadn't planned on doing. If I ended up
wasting a day because of not saving my work
properly I would be very annoyed as it might make
my production time rushed, the end result would
4. At college there is a large option of software, the
software which I use is Adobe. Most of my product
will be created in InDesign and Photoshop, one
software which I want to be able to use is Illustrator
this is something which I will learn at the end of the
week. I hope the software works throughout the
production time, but if it doesn't I will try to reload it
and if that still doesn't work I will move onto a
different computer and see if that works. If this does
work I will have most likely have lost the work which
I have completed in the lesson. This wont impact my
work a lot but it will leave me a little bit behind.
SOFTWAREPOWER
This is a problem which hasn't occurred to me before
but it could be an unforeseen problem which I didn't
know how to solve it. I would rather think of all the
contingencies which might happen. This could be
anything to the computer crashing to there being a
power cut. My main solution would be to save it
every hour or every 20 minutes, if something does
happen I wont be far behind because of saving it
regularly. If the computer does crash which is quite
normal, I will have saved my work and hopefully I
wont have lost any. Even if this does happen, I wont
want to waste time as I feel like if I wasted time it will
have a negative impact on my production. Instead of
wasting time if I could do anything by hand I could,
this could be anything from a draft of an article or a
list of things to do.
5. THEORETICAL PROBLEMS
INTERVIEWS- In my product the main thing subject is
based on peoples role models, for this I will need to
conduct interviews to find people role models. I have
conducted interviews in the past and it has been quite
difficult to conduct and get responses. Maybe this time I
will do fact to fact interviews instead?
WEATHER/ LOCATION- When I start with
my project, I want to make sure it looks aesthetic
and professional. This will rely on whether I will
be taking my own images. If I do go out and take
images it relies on whether the weather is good, if
the weather is bad it will make the location look
very depressing, this might effect my project.
FINANCE- I want this project
to be very professional, to do
this I will have to pay for things
out of my own pocket. I have
decided that every week ill try
save some money up over the
next few weeks so I can afford to
travel to see my interviewees as
well as get my work
professionally printed. I want to
make this the best project which
I have created, hence why I am
adding extras into it.
PRODUCTION TIME- With
my FMP deadline it is very
important that I stick to the
deadlines, I want to have as
much production time as I can,
this is why when it comes to the
week before my production I
want to make sure all my work is
completed so I don’t have to do
anything in my production time.
PROFESSIONAL PRINTING- As I have stated in my finance, I want to get my
fanzine professionally printed, I think this will make it look more nicer and more
appealing when I try get my product out, if I get it printed then if I decide to enter it
into any festivals it will look better than just printing it on paper. I will print off the
copy at college and re read it and edit it then finally send it off to be printed. I want
to make sure there are no mistakes so I want to print it a few time to make sure it is
perfect.
6. In the past, I have struggled with conducting my
interviews and getting responses within the time I
have to produce my work. For my fanzine I emailed a
feminist society and they seemed very keen to be
involved in my feminist fanzine, they never replied
which meant I had to find more people to interview.
I think I wouldn't experience this problem if I
conducted the interviews face to face. This could
also mean I could take an image of them to show
the reader who I have interviewed, this might be
difficult if I want to get people all around the world
as it wont be physically possible for me to go over to
their country, to get around this I could
facetime/skype them and record the whole
conversation with a camera so I have a back up just
in case. I think this is very possible but I will have to
see what the people are like when I approach them.
INTERVIEWSPRODUCTION TIME
For this project I have seven weeks to finish my
product, I think for the style of fanzine I want to
create and the amount of pages which I want to
achieve, I hope to get loads of pages and articles
done within this time. If I don’t complete in my
production time, I have a gap of 1 week before the
invigilator comes in, if I really need to use this time I
will come in every day to try get my work finished.
This would be very unforeseen circumstances as I
have always got my work in before the deadline, this
is also a longer production time so I think there will
not be a problem with production time. I think the
worst impact on running out of production time
would not be making the product the best product I
can make.
7. At the end of this project I want to try and get my
work out there, once it is finished I want to add it on
issu as well as trying to add it into fanzine
competitions. This is why I want to see if I can get it
professionally printed. This is not cheap and as you
can see I have researched the different printing
options. I think this will also help with my portfolio
as I will have a professional looking fanzine which
will hopefully attract. I think by the fact I am paying
out of my own pocket I will try my absolute best
with making sure everything is perfect as I will only
be able to afford to print my fanzine of once. It will
also motivate me to make a fanzine which is unique
and what people will enjoy reading. It wouldn’t be
the end of the world if I couldn’t afford to get it
printed but I think it would have a large impact on
my fanzine as I will feel proud of my work.
PROFESSINAL
PRINTING
FINANCE
To make this project the best I can I wanted to add
as much in as I can. This means that I will have to use
my own money to supply things. I hope to keep
saving money throughout the months to have
enough money to send my work off to print. If I
conduct interviews face to face, I am asking someone
to take their time to be involved in my interview. As I
am asking someone to stop whatever they are doing,
I will most likely meet them at a coffee shop and pay
for their drink to say thank you. Another cost which I
will have to think of is transport, if I need to travel to
the person to interview them I will have to get a train
there or drive there. This will depend on whether the
interviewee is based. I think if I interview by email I
will end up chasing people up to answer the
interviews, I also feel like I will be able to get more
out of the them if I interview them face to face.
12. EXPERIMENTING WITH THE GRAPHICS
TABLET
It has been said that using a graphics tablet might be easier to use when I am creating my illustrations
rather than just using my mouse. This is something which I was really interested in looking at. I have never
used a graphics tablet, this was very obvious when I plugged it into the computer and had the tablet the
wrong way round, after I corrected this mistake I started creating an illustration of Obama. I got an image
of Gloria Steinem and tried to recreate her face, this was quite tricky as it was difficult to not wobble when
creating the lines. This is obvious with the right hand side of her hair. I think the good thing about this
experiment is the wrinkles, I created a new layer and turned the opacity to 5% to create the effect. I think I
need to work more on the hair as well as trying not to be very wobbly.
13. EXPERIMENTING WITH THE GRAPHICS
TABLET
I want to try use the graphics tablet when
creating my headings as I think it brings a
aesthetic look onto the double page spread. I
think it also adds a little more detail into my
fanzine. Initially I had a very hard time trying to
get accurate lines as I was still trying to learn
how to use the graphics tablet. After I while I
started to get the hang of it. The experiments
on this slide were the best ones which I
created. My favourite fonts are the ‘Michelle
Obama’ and the ‘Emma Watson’ text. I think
the ‘Michelle Obama’ text is very aesthetic and
detailed. It is very delicate which I like. I think
the other two fonts are very messy. When I am
in my production weeks I will take this into
consideration and decide which font would
look more attractive on the page.
14. MAKING IMAGES LOOK LIKE ILLUSTRATIONS
• From my production research, I research how I would make images look like illustrations. With the results from this
research and some of my knowledge of the software I have found my happy medium of doing this experiment. I
used an image which I had taken against a plain background and then added different filters on the top of the
image. I think this worked really well as I got a mixture of results from this product. At this point I don’t know
whether I want to have my whole fanzine in an illustration format or whether I should have some images. If I decide
half way through my production that I want to have some images in my product I would like to use this type of

15. PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHS
• From my production research, I researched how to take a good portrait photograph using two YouTube videos.
Using the four tips which I researched I started to experiment with the camera and a model. I wanted a relaxed
atmosphere for these photos as well as making the model look flattering. The main thing which I was
experimenting with was the different angles, I wanted to see what an eye level angle would look like as well as a
high level angle. I captured 50 images and only 3 of them I liked, this is something which I need to take into
consideration when I take a portrait image for the interviewee.
16. • At the end of the shoot I wanted to try the different settings on the
camera, I decided to use the portrait setting, this is the 3 images above. I
think if I used the setting more I could have got to grips with it but I
liked the other images.
PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHS
17. PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHS
To ensure that I get the best images
when I take my images of the
interviewee I will make sure I have
similar settings to the three images
which I liked. To find out the settings of
the images I opened them in Photoshop,
then went file and file info. This brings
up all the information on the photo, this
includes the ISO, exposure and the lens
which I used. The image to the right is
one of the photos which is the look
which I wanted to achieve, I wanted a
relaxed atmosphere and a natural look
on the model. The screenshot next to
the image is the settings of the camera
when this image was taken. This will be
helpful when I take the photograph of
my interviewee I can quickly adjust the
settings and shoot.
18. PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHS
Compared to
the other image
on the side
above the ISO
has changed, in
the image on
the slide before
the ISO was 640
and on this
image it is 800.
This means that
the exposure is
higher in this
image then the
other one. The
lens is still the
same.
19. PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHS
This image is the
same ISO which
is featured in
the slide above.
Throughout all
of the images
the pattern
metering is all
the same.
20. FRONT COVER EXPERIMENT
…
Using the same title as the fanzine which I have previously made I
created a front cover. This was a very basic front cover as it seemed as
though that’s what my audience wanted from my survey which I
conducted. I used the two illustration experiments which I had already
conducted. This was a very quick experiment, now when I look back I
would like to make a more detailed front cover and see which one my
audience likes the most. I think what would be very interesting would
be if I added a cover line linking the illustrations to the topic of the
fanzine. The top of the front cover looks very plain so when I am in my
production week I will make my front cover more interesting with a few
cover lines.
22. ILLUSTRATION EXPERIMENT
This was the first illustration experiment which I
completed was this style of illustration. I really like the
end product but all the steps through the experiment
was very agonising. This experiment took me over an
hour to complete with all the little details. As you can see
from the slide above I started with the lips, this is a very
defined lip as I wanted it to standout against her pale
skin colour. I used a ligher pink to define the lip colour
even more. I then outlined the fae and neck, I added the
hair in which was surprisingly very easy and then the
black shoulder. When doing the eyes I found it very
difficult to create the eyelashes as I wanted them to look
exagerated but not too extravagent. The eyebrows were
very easy to do. I then started to shade in the different
colours, I found this quite complicated as I wanted to
have different skin tones at different light points. As you
can see from the screenshots on this slide you can see
the process of all the different colours. But I really liked
the final experiment. When it comes to my production
period I will decide which style I would like to create.
23. …
ILLUSTRATION EXPERIMENT
This illustration felt very easy to do compared to Emma Watson
drawing. I didn’t want to add a lot of skin colour onto this
drawing as it took too long on my first experiment with Emma
Watson.
I started off with the hair, in all my illustrations I struggle with
doing any set of hair, I find it hard to draw and over complicated,
I looked at various images of Oprah Winfrey and reached an
overall judgement on how to do her hair. With the hair coming
round the face and in front of the shoulders it helped with
creating the face shape. I then started with the facial features.
After trying to make realistic facial features I started with the
colour of the skin tone, as I have previously said I didn’t want
to mess around with the colour as I had already
experimented with doing that for my first experiment, I
used Oprah’s actual skin colour from the images which I
looked at, I then used a lighter skin colour for part of the
forehead. I think the only thing which I was unsure of is
the red/orange blotches on the face, this was meant to
bring some definition into her face but looking back at it
now I think it looks silly. The shoulders and neck was quite
easy to do apart from when I was doing the right hand
shoulder the black top looked weird next to the raised
shoulder.
24. INTERVIEW EXPERIMENT
My project is focused on interviewing people so I thought what would be better than experimenting with
conducting an interview. I interviewed sim who was in my class, seen as though it was an experiment I
decided to use a Tascam recorder after learning more about it in my research. I felt as though the
interview went well, seen as though Sim doesn’t know much about feminism I decided to make her into
an singer songwriter as I feel that is an easier way of interviewing someone. I created 10 questions which
asked Sim about her singing career, these were just guidelines as I think it is always good to go off on
tangents when interviewing someone. I kept following up with little comments which she made which
ended up with a good interview. Before I started the interview I tested the recorder, seen as though we
were in a busy café I wanted to see how it would work seen as though this is what I will be doing when I
go out to interview people, surprisingly the sound levels worked really well and I was happy with the end
result. This experiment makes me very excited to when I get into production. I think the only thing which I
would like to improve when I go out and interview is work really hard when it comes to the interview
questions, they are only a back up and a subject starter but I felt like they could have been more detailed.
26. DATE PROBLEM SOLUTION
04/03/2019 When I started my planning I had no
idea what content I wanted to include in
my fanzine. I felt this was because I
didn't do enough research and I didn't
notice what contents were breaking up
the articles.
Go back and look at different fanzines.
See what contents they used to break it
up. Add this details into my research
PowerPoint and how this has impacted
my planning.
13/03/2019 When I was creating my flat plans I
wanted to create the type of text which
will be at the top of one of my articles.
When I started up on Photoshop my text
seemed very shaky and not very smooth.
After asking Dave what I can do he
suggested to try illustrator, after you use
the pencil tool it automatically smooths
the lines out. This was good to know as
it will help when I am in my production
week and I can create the text on
illustrator so it looks more professional.
27. USING ILLUSTRATOR INSTEAD OF
PHOTOSHOP
• As I have previously said in the slide above how Photoshop makes my
lines when using a graphics tablet very shaky and not smooth. This
image to the left is an example of what it looked like after drawing one
word of my title. At the bottom of this slide is the text which I created
using illustrator, straight away you can see the difference. I didn't want
my work to look messy and unprofessional as I wanted all my titles to be
neat and precise. I'm glad that Dave taught me how to use illustrator
and how I can get my titles to perfection. When in illustrator I also
messed around with the different brushes and fonts which I could create.
After messing around I created this text in the blue colour, this was a
different font to my earlier experiment but I think it looks more
professional and it was more of the look I was going for my first double
page spread. Considering that I haven't used illustrator before it was
very easy to navigate around and create a bit of text which I might add
into my actual fanzine.
