In today's lesson we started to use Photoshop properly, experimenting with different functions and what effects would be most appropriate to our student magazine covers. Of course the tools we use are totally dependent on the overall message that we want the cover to express, ie. do we want it to be fun and entertaining or deal with serious issues that would be relevant to the reader.
I want my magazine to be quite sophisticated, therefore I wouldn't be doing anything extreme to any of my photographs, ie making obvious colour changes or drawing using the paint or pen tools. However, I could edit the image to make it lighter, or to reduce any shine that could be a distraction.
I couls also AirBrush the image. This is used heavily in industry to cover all flaws of a subject to show perfection.
The photograph that I have chosen I don't consider to need any serious editing, not only because the main focus is quite a good representation of the college, but also because I am going to use the background of the image for the background of the whole page.
it's all about me

- This is a series of blogs to show my progress throughout my A-Level Media Studies course. The process involves progression from a pre-production, preliminary exercise to a more fully realised piece. I have chosen to work independantly as I work best this way. The preliminary task is to produce the front cover for a magazine exclusively for Orpington College students. The main task is to produce a front cover, contents page and double page feature spread for a new music magazine. This is shown in the first blog [relentlessmedia]. The second blog [relentlessmediatwo]shows may work and research in preparation for the final exam which focuses around television dramas and video games.
