For my preliminary task I had to create a college magazine cover, I did this on photoshop cs5. Doing this helped me to remember the basics of photoshop and I got to practise essential techniques needed to create products on photoshop.
I used many different photoshop techniques including; clone stamp tool, photoshop rulers, text alignment and changing opacity levels.
I used the clone stamp tool to remove remove part of the image that I didnt want without making it look obvious that I had.
I used the photoshop rulers on all of my products to keep my products tidy and all my columns of text the same width.
I used text alignment to keep my text tidy and to fit nicely around images and pull quotes.
Aswell I used the opacity bar to change how visible certain things were.
To the left is both my plenimary task magazine cover and my Final college magazine front cover. They are quite similar, however the 'Base' cover is much more detaied and refined. They both keep to the colour scheme and arent swaying towards one specific gender.My final cover looks much more professional and better layed out than the 'Forward' cover, with the cover lines spaced out and not just in a continuous line.
Below are my plenimary task contents page and my new contents page for my final piece. There is a clear different between two as you can see. On my new contents page the colours are much more refined, the actually contents of the magazine is in more depth and it looks far more proffesional.
On the first contents page there arent any headings, the writing is quite hard to see and there is no page number or anything.
