Magazine-Rock Sound -November 2011
Article- P40-41..‘Trash Talk'- 'Rise To Remain'.
Preliminary Task
After 2 weeks of hard work, I can finally say that I have completed my magazine cover and contents page! During these 2 weeks, I have learnt how to use the SLR camera through which I learnt how to create different effects such as how to focus on a certain object and blur the rest of the image. I've also learnt how to use Photoshop and I have successfully designed 2 magazine pages on it, which I feel turned out well. Before this task, I had never used Photoshop and therefore I had no clue on how to use the program, but luckily I learnt most of it faster than I expected. Although I knew the basics of Photoshop, I discovered new tools as I went along, such as the blur tool. Along the way, I came up with many ideas which I added to my page, but after going further, I realised that it didn’t always work out, therefore I removed it. This improved my skills in coming up with ideas. Whilst comparing my flat plan to my final turnout, I could see the difference clearly.
