The author also learned Photoshop skills like cutting out pictures to fit on pages. Overall, the proper use of layout, columns, colors and images were important lessons that made the music magazine look more professional compared to the initial school magazine.

Question 7
The document describes the process of creating a magazine using Photoshop. For the first magazine attempt, the author selected colors for the background, added a fade effect, inserted two images while removing unwanted parts with the rubber tool, and used different fonts and sizes for the title text. Screenshots were taken using keyboard shortcuts. For the finished magazine, placing details at first was difficult but became easier. Tools like refining edges were used to soften images. Text placement and design consistency across pages were learned.

Question 7
- 2. On this front cover and contents there are many things wrong with it after learning about new technology's. For example not all of the text it lined up which makes some of the text look out of place. Also the white text is coming of the green boxes which mean you cannot see the top of the text. I have also put writing over the picture in the contents this was a bad decision as you can not read it clearly this means its hard to understand. I have also not made the very much of the green text on the front cover very visible to make it more visible I should turn it into a more bolder font. I should edited the front cover picture so you can see her eyes more. I could also make the green sticker more bold like I have done on my music magazine as it gives a 3D effect and draws your attention to it more.
- 3. As you can see my music magazine stands out a lot more as it looks more professional. I have learnt that layout is the most important part of making a magazine if your layout is not right the magazine will not look right. I have learnt how to line up text and how to make certain things stand out more on a front cover for example my 200th issue sticker. Also I have learnt that putting little things like a barcode and a price makes it look more real and professional.When I started the preliminary task I did not have any experience in InDesign or Photoshop therefore the tools on there I had never used, so I could not use everything I wanted but as I have learnt I have made my music magazine better than the school one. I have learnt how to use good photos through Photoshop and how to layout a good magazine with columns. I have also learnt how to use tools on InDesign more, for example ‘wrap around’ this gives me the opportunity to move text around an object for example a picture and still make the text look good on the page.
- 4. On my contents page for my school magazine I have not used a proper layout on in deign. Where as on my music magazine I have used columns through InDesign to make sure my text is all lined up and easy to read. I have also made sure I have used a colour scheme through my music magazine as I have not in my school one. In my school one I have random colours in the contents page which does attract you, but it is not consistent throughout the two pages.Where as in my music magazine I have made sure my front cover, contents and double page spread all has the same colour and the mast head is on the top of every page.
- 5. I have learnt since doing the first task with the school magazine to make sure all text is in columns as it make It look so much more professional .I have also learnt how to cut out a picture like my one on my double page spread . I have done this through Photoshop. Using a quick selection tool and a rubber it has allowed me to make this picture fit in to my page and have writing around it. I have also learnt how to wrap text on this page around the picture.
