Learning Process

before starting this media course, i had never used photoshop before so it was completely knew to me. the first time i used it was when we had to get into groups and make a nature magazine, using photoshop. This was to get us used to the programme and prepare us for our coursework.


our group went to the pond and took some images, the image i chose to use was of the pond and a purple bush at the back, with two ducks swimming in the centre 0f the pond and image. we named it duck watch and used the snow blizzard effect to change the picture making the weather look really bad, we used the color scheme of purple and white. This being the first time i had used photoshoph it didnt go as bad as i thought it would. buit then again it was very frustrating, it also took along time to get the hang of so i was pracctising all the time.

we then moved on to our preliminary task which was to produce a school magazine to an age group of our choice, we looked at things like how often would we print them, who to, aswell as what it would look like.
i learnt that i had to use my time alot more wisely as photoshop took alot longer to work out than expected

here is an image of my contents, as you can see i have continued the house stlye, logo. masthead and colour shceme.

last two weeks

over the last two weeks i have been adding things to my magazine, on the front cover, the contents and double page spread, i had chosen a house style using a colour scheme of blue red and white.

in the last two days of the two weeks we had off i was researching magazines that are the same genre as mine and i looked back at mine and decided if i saw that front cover, i wouldnt buy it. As my magazine is aimed at people like myself i decided to re-do the front cover, although all my time and hard work had gone in to making it look how it was before i much prefered the second version. i changed my main colour scheme to red yellow and black with little sections of blue and white to break it up. i tried to keep it more simple rather than just shoving lots of things on to one page like on my first front cover i designed.

on my new front cover i added more colour and aslo a kind of puff about a bands new album;
in actual fact this is my third front cover.




i did this using this tool on photoshop elements;(the image circled)

latest progress.

This is my front cover for my music magazine so far as you can see i have carried on the house style and colour schemes throughout.

im very pleased with what i have acheived so far.

















in wednesdays lesson i took some more pictures as i mentioned before i wasnt happy with the ones i had before.

this is my contents for my magazine.

as you can see i am maintaining the colour scheme and masthead, font and
