Photoshop skills have developed where I have been taught several new things on the use of tools and how to arrange my three media products. To start with, editing the models flaws and blemishes, etc. I have learnt to adjust these by using perhaps the brush tool to cover it, blending, blur or patch tool. Each one of these served my editing for different purposes and helped to create a fresh looking touch to my model, perfecting an icon/ role model for my audience.
Text was introduced to me during the session work and I am now aware of how to change the font style, colour, arrangement, size, gapping, etc. Again each one has come in handy where I have needed to show a range of fonts to keep my audience interested. Showing a small variety could loose their interest and show a lack of skill/ effort.
As I also studying photography, this provided skill in my takings of the photographs; concentrating on compositions such as rule of thirds, background information, lighting, costume and more. The images were taken free-hand but again, relating back to Photoshop experience I was shown how to straighten up image using 'obituary' which automatically set my image straight.
Shapes came in handy where my font was getting lost no matter what colour I used. My cover page presents a few showing some as opaque, a mixed inverted and gradient fade.
Magazines need to be perfect for alignments therefore I used rulers and added my own at predicted measurements to enable that everything was in line and fitted within the space that I had.
