The student learned how to use tools in Photoshop and InDesign, such as the magnetic lasso tool, text tool, and paint bucket tool to design professional-looking elements for their magazine like images, text, and backgrounds. They also used a digital camera, Moodle, and researched conventions from other magazines to inform the design of their media product.
Post production diary magazine
The document summarizes Grace Crawford's process of editing a photograph in Photoshop and designing a magazine cover in InDesign for her media studies project. She began by removing imperfections from the raw photo in Photoshop. She then experimented with hue, saturation and tones to create a darker, eerie effect. In InDesign, she imported the edited photo and added text, logos, and other design elements to layout the magazine cover. While pleased overall, she notes areas for improvement like the color scheme, text readability, and positioning of elements.
Film Poster Production
Danielle Duffy created the first draft of a film poster using Photoshop and InDesign. In Photoshop, she adjusted the levels and tones of the main image, erased the white background and added sinister text messages. She then exported the image into InDesign to add additional elements like the title, billing block and logo to create a layout that followed her red and white color scheme. While she was pleased with the overall result, she noted some weaknesses like difficulty optimizing some areas of the image in Photoshop.
Evaluation h – skills development
The document summarizes the progression of the author's skills in magazine design from an initial preliminary task to the finished product. In the preliminary task, the layout and images lacked quality and professional features. However, in the finished magazine, the author implemented lessons learned around layout, use of images of people instead of blurry photos, inclusion of professional design elements like barcodes and website links, improved color scheme, font choice, and use of conventions like overlaying the cover image on the masthead. Overall, the author is pleased with how their skills developed from the initial task to create a magazine that better matches conventions of the target genre and audience.

The production required advanced skills in Photoshop and InDesign to create a professional layout and aesthetically pleasing design.
Q7 eval
Patrick Wilson reflects on his learning progress from an initial preliminary magazine task to the full product. He began with no Photoshop skills and took poorly edited photos. Through trial and error, he learned to selectively edit and use layers. Researching existing magazines helped him understand conventions and target his younger audience. Creating drafts helped him plan his pages, though he improved upon his contents page draft. His final pages achieved cohesion through research on colors, photos, and audience preferences.
6. fmp production reflection

3. Production Experiments (FMP).pptx
The document describes the student's process of designing a film magazine using Adobe Photoshop. They experimented with different fonts, colors, images and layouts. They found Photoshop initially difficult to use but overcame this with practice. They designed elements like the masthead, tagline, cover page and double page spread, importing images and merging colors using tools in Photoshop. They aimed to create a design that would appeal to their target audience and be eye-catching. Through experimentation and reviewing their research, they developed a final design for the magazine using Photoshop.
post-production BBC.pptx
This document discusses the post-production editing process for creating a cover photo, title card, and documentary. It describes using Photoshop and Premiere Pro to edit images and add effects like increasing saturation. Feedback was received from peers on different design concepts. The cover photo concept changed from focusing on electrical components to focusing more on a person attached to their phone. The title card concept also changed based on feedback noting the visuals were off-putting. The final cover photo and title card incorporated British landmarks and linked the theme of being attached to technology while addressing the earlier feedback.
Production experiments - print project
1) The document describes experiments the author conducted with Adobe Photoshop and InDesign to design a magazine cover and spread.
2) For the cover, the author placed an image in Photoshop and InDesign, learned how to change text colors and add grids.
3) For the spread, the author set up guidelines and learned how to change background colors by filling pages with rectangles and sending them to the back. Minimalist design with color schemes was the focus.
Question 6 Evaluation
The document discusses the author's learning and development of digital skills through constructing a magazine project. Initially, the author struggled with Photoshop and designing magazine layouts.

1) The author experimented with different layouts, images, colors and fonts on five drafts of the front cover to improve the design and structure based on feedback.
2) Changes included increasing the masthead size, adjusting image placement and adding cover lines.
3) Three drafts of the contents page were also made, refining elements like boxes, fonts and filling empty spaces based on assessments.
4) The final drafts of both pages incorporated a variety of techniques to create a cohesive and visually appealing design for the magazine.
Construction of magazine
1) The document describes the process of designing four drafts of a magazine front cover and contents page. Key steps included choosing images and text, adjusting colors, fonts, sizes and positioning of elements, and getting feedback from a lecturer and peers.
2) Revisions across drafts focused on improving layout, balance of elements, use of color and fonts, making the masthead and images more prominent, and addressing feedback to create a more cohesive and appealing design.
3) The fourth draft of the contents page added a blue banner to balance the color distribution and improve readability of social media text by changing it to white. The designer was pleased with the outcome of this iterative design process.
Poster Design Process
The document describes the process of creating a poster to advertise a clothing brand. Key steps included:
1) Importing a photo taken on location and editing it in Pixelmator and Photoshop to sharpen details and manipulate the image.
2) Isolating the model from the background using selection tools to edit each independently and darken the background.
3) Adding texture around the borders by scanning pieces of plumbing tape to resemble posters pasted on walls.
4) Including branding elements like the logo and slogan, using different fonts and colors to make the information clear and consistent.
Question 6 Evaluation

Pr11 production commentary sarah murray
The document discusses the design and layout of a magazine project. The main programs used were Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Word. Photoshop was used to edit photos for the cover and double page spread, using tools like the clone and selection tools. Word was used to write articles which were then copied into the Photoshop project. Formats from existing extreme sports magazines influenced the design choices, including using overlapping text over images on the cover. Consideration was given to visual conventions and ensuring the design appealed to and was relevant for the target teenage audience interested in scootering.
Question6
The document discusses various technologies and software tools learned through creating a magazine product in Photoshop. Photoshop tools for selecting, editing layers, blending modes, and filters were used to edit images. Presentation software like Emaze, Prezi, and SlideShare were used to create presentations, and tools in Windows Movie Maker like importing media and setting durations were used to create a video. Other tools mentioned include Bubbl.us for creating mind maps, SurveyMonkey for distributing questionnaires, and SLR cameras for capturing photos with different modes and settings.

Skills development
- 2. Developing skills for a new software that I've never used in the past was a journey for me. A software that is very well known in the media and the IT world which is an image editing software called Adobe Photoshop CC. It was difficult for me to gain the knowledge over this software, considering the fact I've never came across this software in my past. I have edited a few images using Paintshop pro, which isn't as challenging as Adobe Photoshop, since it's very limited when it comes to editing. Meanwhile learning the skills in this software, it made me realise how it's much more efficient and useful than Paintshop pro it is. Some thing I found difficult to find and use in Adobe Photoshop would be some of the tools i.e. Lasso Tool or the magic wand. Anyhow my teacher was able to help me and taught our class how to build up experience from this software. I was able to understand it and it's very beneficial for me as I can apply this in the future of this project.
- 4. This is a poster I produced using Photoshop for the first time. I tried my best to make it look like a real Thriller film poster using some basic connotations from the genre, hence the black background and the cold lighting used on the man in the middle. I also used the USA flag as a clipping mask to cover up the text, which makes the poster look more appealing to the dark background. Lastly I also played with the opacity with the two heads in the background, although it’s just a split image of the same person it shows that the person has two faces, where it gives the audience the idea of corruption, which is a common theme within the thriller Genre.
- 6. As you can see I made huge progression when it came down to skills in Photoshop, although it doesn’t look as pleasing to me compared to the first one, it still is genuinely a decent poster. I’ve discovered new functions within the program such as the ruler, which are the blue lines, that aided me with placing the images together from a parallel distance. The ruler also helped with other stuff such as rotating the banners using the Rotating View Tool and the red dividers which are parallel from each other. I also learnt how to make a classic 3D text using a red version of the text and shifting it towards right and a blue version of the text and shifting that towards left, which creates this 3D looking text.
- 8. As you can see I’ve made this Magazine cover from Total Film following their style and how they design their covers. I’ve included some of the basic connotations which are used in magazines such as the masthead, the pug, some graphics and the title. Also I’ve noticed that how Total Films magazine usually have a quote on top of their masthead from the research I made. I also followed the same colour scheme as Harley Quinn as well, which makes the Blue and Pink stand out. The texts are completely different styled as well compared to my previous work and I decided to use more gradient and adjust the lighting to make it more aesthetically pleasing with the gradient and the shadow. Lastly I added a filter to make the background match with the colour scheme, the way I made this is by creating a new filter, use the pink – blue gradient and adjusted the blending and opacity
