Platinum Magazine.. Stephanie Brand...

In the last couple of lessons, weve worked really hard!



Three lessons ago Rebecca lent us the college's camera and she taught us how to use to use them, she we used the school cameras and we took the pictures for our magazine cover. We went outside to the school garden and took pictures of each other in the sun, trying to catch different shots and angles. We had to take the pictures in a certain way because if not the pictures wouldnt be big enough for the magazin cover, we also took other pictures to use as the advertisements on the front cover.

The following lesson we took a look at the picures we had taken and asi a group we decided which ones had come out the best, and which ones we were going to use for definate as our front covers, we also chose what ones we wanted to use as our advertisements pictures.

We then started working on the iMacs and using the adobe photoshop. It was hard to get used to using the iMacs as most of us in the class use normal windows desktop computers, but as we started uploading all the pictures and learn to use the effects that we could do on the pictures, we started working really hard. We had to work with the right picture and make sure that it was easy to drag out of its background. When this was done, we then started adding the sub titles and lines. We also had to pick the appropiate colours for the font and the writting style and most important of all, make the magazine stand out from all the others.

We had to work hard and work with time, we didnt have time to waste.
