- 3. Planning/research...In the planning stages, I used mainly simple software for example word, publisher and paint to create flat plans, mood boards and blog entries.I also used the internet to research existing magazine layouts and to create a blog on Tumblr. I already had an existing personal blog on Tumblr so I was aware of how to use it and how it could help me present my media work.
- 4. Production...PHOTOSHOP:I learnt how to load an image onto Photoshop and adapt it by changing the light and contrast etc.I also learnt how to adapt text by adding drop shadows and such to make the front cover look more professional.I learnt how to use the lasso tool to manipulate my images and make them stand out of fit in with the page layout more, for example putting the top of the models head on top of the masthead on the front cover.I also learnt about saving the files as JPEGS so that they are single images I could use on my blog.
- 5. EVALUATION...In my evaluation mainly used PowerPoint to present my work.I already had fairly good knowledge of how to use it, but leant how to attach a song onto a slide and play it throughout, and also how to rehearse timings for each individual slide so the presentation runs smoothly.AND I can do this... But there’s really no need.
- 6. The media project we were given was completely dependant on technology; even If I had presented it in a portfolio, there would have still been need for cameras and Photoshop to create the actual product.Using a blog is a brilliant way of presenting the work, and it involves the project more in technology.I learnt the most In Photoshop, as I had little/no experience in using it before I started my coursework.
