Evaluation Question Seven

As you can see i have made a lot of progress from making my perliminary task to making the final product, this is because i learnt to use the different tools. I used the text alignment and space reduction on my final product to make the writing look more profesional and i did not know who to do this while i was making the preliminary task cover, i also used the blending options with most all of the text i have used which makes the individual things i wanted to stand out stand out more and for them to have a drop shadow for more impact in the writing, as you can see i did not use any of those techniques in the origonal college magazine. In my Contents page personally i think the most affective thing i used was wrapping the text around the pictures i used in it this gave it a nice sleek finish.By using the Quick Selection tool with alot of detail it took alot of time of taking the bits of the picture i didnt want for example the background etc. when i first starting using the quick selection i was not very good with it and the picture was jagged around the edges and did not look very good but after abit of practice with using it i got better at it and used the Rubber tool after wards to make it look even more smoother and more profesional. I had to do a lot of target audience research and get feedback from them so i knew what to write about and what sort of images i should be using in my magazine, i found by looking on the Vibe magazine website it helped alot because the target auidience is very similar and obviously they have done there research in alot more detail then me because they are a multi national company.

Evaluation Question six

I have used a few different websites and programs when making this product,

some that i already knew how and some that i have never used before, they ranged from; Flickr.com, Blogger.com, Photoshop.

Before starting this project i was firmiliar with photoshop but i have learnt a lot of new tools on it which helped me make my magazine and pictures look alot more profesional, the one tool that i feel made it look better was the 'Blending Options' tool because with this you can change the drop shadow's, gradiants,contrast, inner shadow's and lots of other different things that make it easy to enhance your project. The photos i took for my magazine were all very similar which i would change if i would do it again, the majourity of them are just normal medium shots i used this type of picture because i have seen it look very good in magazines similar like Vibe so i thought i would copy that idea from them. I am pleased with my main cover image because it gives quite a emotionless pose towards the target auidience which is teenage males, so i would think they can relate and easily put thereself in that posistion.
