carrying on..

In todays lesson we have been catching up with work that needs to be finished before we break up for two weeks. In this lesson I have completed my Music magazine Proposal.

However my school magazine is coming along well and I have nearly completed it, its looking really good so far and I just need to put my cover lines and sell lines on to it to make it complete. I also need to do the contents page after this. I have a good idea of what the contents page is going to look like. 

On my working folder work, I have nearly completed everything but just a few more things to complete. 

I will post my next post on the first lesson back after the two week holiday :)

School Magazine :)

Week three (: 

This week I have just basically been working in photoshop on my school magazine. It is really coming along, I know have the little girl as my front image with a navy blue masthead which says 'LTA Life' and then I have the strap line is 'Act enterprisingly. Work in partnership. Achieve excellence.' Then there is four notes on the side in the colour's of the colleges. Using photoshop is quite difficult and time consuming. I have used quite a few of the tools already such as, 
- Move tool
- Lasso tool
- Spot healing brush tool
- Brush tool
- Paint bucket tool
- Dodge tool
- Text tool

Thursday 1st October 09, carrying on.

Carrying on..
In the last week, we took the camera's out in pairs and took photo's of students for a school magazine which is for one piece of our coursework. I went out with Chrissie and we had to find a student or a group of students to get photo's of them. I had to take into consideration all that I have learnt in the last three lessons about: Lighting, position and other criteria. Once I had taken the photo's and I was happy with them I then put them into the student folder. In today's lesson I am going to be using photoshop to work with the photo's that I took on Monday. 

Then on the second half of Monday's lesson, we started learning on photoshop and then we practiced with some set photo's. I learnt exactly how to use photoshop and I think that I will be able to work with it on my photo's to make my school magazine look really good (: -

I have also finished the following pieces of work;
1. The two front cover analysis's
2. The Brainstorm of different music genres
3. The double page spread analysis
4. The picture sequence and my own rating of them
