Photoshop evidence for poster
This document discusses the use of Photoshop tools and techniques for a film project titled "Photoshop Evidence". It describes using the same title text for the film, slogan, and company name due to their relatedness. Color balance and smudge tools are used to modify pictures and cut out and smooth image edges to represent character personalities more realistically. Zooming in aids precise smudging.
Construction of contents page
This document provides details on the layout and design of a magazine contents page. It discusses the use of Photoshop to edit images and InDesign for page layout. The contents page features section headings on the left with an image of the magazine's cover star on the right. Text is kept simple with bold headings and smaller explanatory comments in different colors. The image of the smiling cover star was edited in Photoshop to remove the background and blend into the black page background. Additional details like the issue number, date, and website address complete the professional look of the contents page.
Manipulation
The document discusses manipulating photographs for use in a magazine. It describes editing images by flipping them, cropping out backgrounds, removing red eye and marks, adjusting lighting and colors, and adding black and white effects. The goal of manipulating the images was to make the subjects stand out equally, fit layouts, and add variety to the magazine spreads. Final manipulated images were used for the cover, contents page, and double page spreads.
Skills dev'
The document provides instructions for adding a grid in Photoshop to help align elements on a page. Selecting "View" then "Show" and choosing "Grid" will make a grid appear over the background to aid in positioning text and images straight. The grid allows ensuring work is straight and professionally presented without misaligned elements.

The overall page uses a yellow and black color scheme and includes six images and multiple sections to organize information for the target urban audience.
diary of make
This document describes the process of designing a magazine cover and contents page. The author created draft sketches and templates in Photoshop to plan layouts before building the actual pages in InDesign. InDesign proved more useful than Photoshop for the task as it included tools tailored to organizing text and images across a page. Frames, grids, and layers helped the author strategically position all elements, and test cover designs were refined through techniques like blurring images and experimenting with fonts and backgrounds.
Final Draft Double Page Spread Powerpoint
The document summarizes changes made to a double page magazine spread. The key changes include:
1) Replacing the main image and removing a turquoise color scheme. Additional images of the new model were also added.
2) Increasing the font size of the artist's name to span both pages.
3) Creating a mirrored copy of the main image on the right page with added grey-scale to keep the text visible.
4) Updating additional images and the background color to be consistent with changes made to the front cover.
Investigating professional photography
The document discusses selecting professional photography for a music magazine. It examines several photos and provides analysis of each, including what each photo depicts, how it could be used in the magazine, and how it might influence page design. The photos include one using an interesting lighting technique, an iconic band photo for a cover, an unusual photo of a band passing instruments, a contrasting photo showing two subjects as equals, and a busy action shot with confetti.

The document describes the skills used to design a music magazine in Photoshop. Key tools used include the rasterize image tool to prevent stretching when enlarging images, the rectangle and drop shadow tools to create a masthead with a maroon shadow, and the drop shadow tool on text to make it more readable on backgrounds. The quick selection and layers tools were used to position the main image above the masthead to draw more attention. Consistent text styling was achieved using the Rockwell font. A blood splat image was given a maroon color overlay to match the magazine's color scheme and resemble real blood.
Task 11 Unaltered + Altered images in Magazine
The document describes various edits made to images in a music magazine using Photoshop. For the front cover image, the author cropped out shorts, dimmed shine on the face, and added red lips.

Backgrounds were intensified or brightened for some images, while others required little editing due to suitable features.
Photographs (unaltered and permission)
The document outlines the process for selecting and editing photographs for a hip-hop magazine coursework project. It describes 4 stages: obtaining permission from models, booking a camera, taking photos in suitable locations, and selecting photos based on suitability for the magazine layout and content.

This document summarizes revisions made to a magazine front cover design. The designer changed the color scheme to blue and orange with black as the main background color. A new font and main image were selected. Band names were changed to blue for better visibility. Additional text was added to demonstrate space in the new main image. The masthead, empty spaces, and lighter colors will need further revisions to improve the design according to magazine conventions.
Production: manipulation of original photography
The document discusses the manipulation of several original photographs for use in a magazine. The photographs were edited by [1] adjusting colors, brightness, contrast and cropping to make subjects stand out; [2] cutting out backgrounds around subjects using selection tools; and [3] using smudge tools to blend colors and remove unwanted elements like grass. The goal of the edits was to make the photographs more dramatic, professional-looking and well-sized for the intended magazine layouts.
Making the poster
The student created a movie poster by editing a character image in Fireworks to remove the background. They added a grey bucket tool to give it a scary look and blurred the edges.

Front cover production log 1
Kianna Briggs created a layout plan for the front cover of her funky house music magazine. She selected an image of a singer holding a microphone that would grab attention due to its bright colors. Kianna used Photoshop's lasso tool to precisely cut out the image and remove the white background. She then placed the edited image onto the InDesign layout according to her plan. Kianna also added the magazine's masthead, which she had to print screen and crop due to download issues. Finally, she included a skyline with varying font sizes to highlight important words and completed the cover with two contrasting fonts, Rockwell and Sans Serif, to achieve a funky look.

'Music Magazine' overall production
This document provides an overview and reflections on the creation of a music magazine coursework project. It describes the process of developing the front cover, contents page, and double-page spread through taking practice photos, exploring layout designs, and using Photoshop.

Examples from real magazines provided inspiration for layout elements. Photoshop allowed editing photos and exploring new fonts. The development process involved both successes and challenges in deciding designs and fully researching elements.

Question 6
The student struggled with using Photoshop and InDesign in their media texts, having issues with images and text disappearing when placed too close together in InDesign. Through working on the preliminary task, they learned to use layers more efficiently in InDesign. They are most proud of their contents page created in InDesign, which they based on a template from Vibe magazine, though acknowledge their lack of experience means it may not look as professional. To present evidence and research, they used SlideShare and Prezi to post PowerPoint presentations and embed them on their blog to make the content more accessible and attractive to read.

3) Featuring a main image of a model in front of a graffitied background to connote hip-hop culture appealing to the target audience.
4) Addressing the audience using colloquial terminology to make the text seem genuine and appeal to readers.
