Task 7
- 2. Preliminary Front cover VS Product Front cover!
- 3. For my front covers I learnt that keeping it simple is more affective – ‘less is more’ this is what I learnt from the types of magazines I researched I also learnt better editing skills on Photoshop on my product cover than I did on the Preliminary cover. For example getting rid of the red eye and the quality of my picture I also kept more to a sophisticated theme- using white and black texts- making it look more professional
- 4. Preliminary Contents page VS Product Contents page !
- 6. The double page spread was something we never did on the Preliminary task, it was completely new However from past experience on InDesign from making contents pages, making a double page spread wasn't as hard I gained knowledge on how to use double page spread in InDesign I learnt how to add my written up interview and I learnt how to use place more effectively I gained more experience on InDesign because of the double page spread.
- 7. RESEARCH SKILLS I have definitely gained more research skills for my Product project than my preliminary task I looked more into different magazines More comparisons Researched about different publishers I looked at what other R&B/Hip-Hop magazines consist of and developed my own ideas from there More time and effort and research was put in into my Product than my Preliminary
- 8. ADOBE PHOTOSHOP AND INDESIGN I have gained more skills on Photoshop and InDesign which I never new it had when I was using it For example; different techniques on cutting out, effects on images, lightness and contrasts, Boxes and shapes, aligning them precisely with InDesign, Using colour and stroke All this helped me to become more confident on using these tools and became faster at it than I was when I used these software's the first time for my preliminary task.
