The document summarizes Louis Harman's process for creating three pages for a magazine production project. He began by outlining the basic layout and design of the front cover page using shapes and images. For the contents page, he added headings, subheadings, page numbers and images while following a black and yellow color scheme. For the band review page, Louis wrote a review of VANT's performance, included ratings and images of the band to complete the layout. Throughout the process, he utilized tools in Photoshop and fonts from Dafonts to design and style each page.
Charlie O'Sullivan Contents Page Production Journal
Charlie decided to make their content page clean and consistent by using the same fonts and color scheme of white and black. They cut out the background of an image using the quick selection tool and added a threshold effect to make it look more professional. Next, Charlie added vector art to give the image a theme and used text with the same font in black and red to keep things consistent. After importing more text, Charlie changed the colors so titles were in red and other text in black, making the titles larger. Underlining text with the shape tool added more visual separation to the page.

Women participation in the 2014 tripartite elections in malawi mesn june 26 2...
This document summarizes a report on women's participation in the 2014 Malawian elections and the 50-50 campaign aimed at increasing women's political representation. It finds that while the number of registered women voters was higher than men, few women were elected to parliament or local councils. The 50-50 campaign engaged in various activities to promote women candidates but faced challenges including limited resources and a hostile political environment. Going forward, it recommends continued efforts to reform electoral laws and party policies, improve gender administration of elections, and increase support for women's political participation.
Analysis of the first past -the-post electoral system
The document analyzes Malawi's first-past-the-post electoral system and discusses alternatives. It defines electoral systems and outlines Malawi's system, which uses single-member constituencies. While this provides clear winners, it can result in presidents elected by a minority and wasted votes. The document also discusses a two-round system as an alternative that could provide presidents with majority support and greater legitimacy. It suggests this system, combined with quotas, may better support women's representation and inclusion.

Evaluation - Question 6
The document discusses the technologies used to create a magazine front cover, contents page, and double page spread. Photoshop was used to edit photos, add effects like hue/saturation, create the front cover text and masthead with effects like bevel and emboss. InDesign allowed formatting of text across pages in columns but was less effective for photo editing than Photoshop. The student found Photoshop easy to learn effects and editing in, while InDesign was better for text formatting though harder for other edits. Overall, Photoshop and InDesign were used to create the three documents, with each program's strengths relied on.
Q6
The document summarizes the software and techniques used to create a magazine cover and contents page. For the front cover and contents page, Photoshop was used to combine layers, images, and text. A double page spread was created in InDesign, which lacks Photoshop's layer feature. Fonts were found online and images were cropped and arranged. Backgrounds were customized using shapes, swatches, and effects. Bullet points and signatures were imported from other programs.

Production reflection
Ben Dix created a production reflection document detailing his process for creating a multi-page document in Photoshop and InDesign. He began by setting up files in both programs, then took photos using a DSLR camera that he imported and removed backgrounds from in Photoshop. In InDesign, he placed images by drawing frames and importing files, resizing images to fit frames as needed. Text was added similarly in both programs by drawing boxes. Colors were selected from a swatch palette. When finished, projects were exported as JPEGs from Photoshop and double page spreads from InDesign to preserve the layout.

Focus group survey
The focus group survey discussed that the products used consistent pictures, font, and social media pages to create an identifiable brand. They categorized the genre as alternative or indie rock. The group agreed the products were cohesively linked through similar writing styles, colors, and images used across the products and advertising. Areas for improvement included stabilizing some camera movements, more closely linking the video to song lyrics through editing, and adding a website to the advertising. The feedback helped identify issues and potential fixes. Including an image of the digipak in advertising was deemed a good idea.
Focus group survey
The focus group survey asked participants about a magazine product, including what genre they thought it was, whether the pages linked well, and potential areas for improvement. Most participants thought the magazine was a rock genre and that the pages linked well due to consistent color schemes and mastheads. Suggested improvements included reducing white space on the contents page, avoiding small images where pages meet, and increasing spacing between writing at the bottom of pages.

Transition project
My transition project was a narrative music video that told a story of love through visuals linked to the song's lyrics, using close-ups, medium shots, and eye lines to build romantic emotion. It incorporated elements of other music videos like lip syncing and less familiar elements like stop-motion animation. Feedback suggested using more adventurous backgrounds and tighter lip syncing, and technologies like Premiere Pro and a Canon camera helped me learn basic editing and filming skills like speeding up or slowing down shots and using black and white.

Skills development
- 2. Photoshop • As I have already worked on Photoshop before there were no skills that I have recently learned but through my introductory task and my college magazine I have refreshed and developed further some of my skills, for example colour splash. • I began by duplicating my layer then hiding the copy and selecting with the eye drop tool the colour I would like to keep. • I then went to select-colour range-okay-inverse-delete this let only the colour I selected left. • Afterwards I selected my full colour image and hid the other. I then went to image-adjustments-black and white-okay. • Finally I positioned my coloured image above my black and white image and I was left with a colour splashed photo.
- 3. • Here I used Photoshop to change the “BUS STOP” on the bus stop to “LIFE LINE” • First I selected the area around the text-cut and pasted it onto a new page. • I use the eyedrop tool to select the colour around the text and fill it in-then use one of the prints on the rubber to give it the same texture as the original image-and change the opacity to make it look more old and used and as close to the original image as possible. • Then sing dafont.com I selected a font close to the text on the bus stop-then colour select (following the above instructions) it and delete the white background • Then return to the original image- use the eyedrop tool to select the background of the bus stop-and fill in the new text with that- finally link the layers-cut-paste- and move to fit the original image.
- 4. InDesign • I had never used InDesign before this year and found it quite a struggle as I am so used to Photoshop. However after some time I learned the layout and tools were quite like Photoshop but it is very different when inserting and editing images and texts. For example my main image here took me some time to place but I finally got it into a position I liked. • You begin by selecting the rectangle tool and create a rectangle of the size and position you wish. Then file-place-select the image you wish to insert-open • You then use the circle in the centre of the box to move your image into a position within the box. • To add text you select the text toll-create a text box and begin writing. Much like Photoshop.
