Draft (2) Evaluation Activity 6

I used this camera to take my photos, I used the settings such as auto, natural and potrait. I used programs such a phototshop to edit my pictures and to create my magazine and I used websites such as scribd, animoto and blogger to organise and put across my ideas.

Who would be the audience for your media product? on Prezi

Draft (2) Evaluation Activity 7

Looking back at your preliminary task (the school magazine task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?

In terms of Photoshop I have learnt that simple tweaks of colour and lighting can make a normal photo look more professional. I have also learnt that the placing of texts and pictures on a page can make all the difference. One really good photo, placed and manipulated well can make your magazine look more realistic. I have also learnt that you will need to use more than two fonts usually, but they all need to tie together in some way. The rule of three colours works well as a theme, any more than that and it can look messy but this depends on the style of magazine.
