Monitoring 15/042014 (Week 5)

This week I got given been given feedback off my teacher to make final amendments to my folder, blog  and product. On my blog I have included contributor release forms this means that I now have proof that my models have agreed to let me use images of them in my product. On my overall product I have improved my front cover I improved this by adding more sell lines to it to fill blank space. I have also included a skyline to give my front cover a professional look. On my first DPS I have added sub headers, quote inserts, and a breakout box doing this will offer my audience more to look at and improve the overall look of the page. On my second DPS I have put a new image in and on my contents page I have taken out stretched images and put new ones in.

Monitoring 10/2/2014 (Week 5)

Monitoring 10/2/2014 (Week 5)

In the first lesson of this week I completed my first photoshoot, this photoshoot included taking images of an iPhone 5C for my Apple products article as well as taking images of my model holding the iPhone 5C these pictures were for my front cover. Before this photoshoot I had to remind my model when it was and also had to make sure that I had the props ready for my photoshoot. After my photoshoot I then imported the photos from the camera onto a mac which lets me open them, choose which ones I want to use and edit them so I can carry on with my project.

I used the second lesson in this week to look at my images and decide which ones I was going to use in my product once I had chosen the images I want to use in my product I then had to go on to edit them so that I can move onto the stage of my production. Editing the images included cutting them out using the magnetic lasso tool, changing brightness etc.

Underneath are some of the images taken in my photo-shoot:


In third lesson of this week I placed my edit images where I wanted them to go onto my front cover and double page spreads. This is the final stages of my production. In the final lesson of the week i went thought each spread to make sure that I was happy with them and also to make sure there was nothing what I thought I could improve before handing my final product in.
