To create my final three media products i had to chose the editing very carefully. I
used Adobe Photo shop using a Apple Mac computer. Not using one of these before, i had alot of practicing to do. I practiced creating my preliminary task of all three products. since then i have improved vastly using photo shop and have learned to do most things. For my front cover i didn't need to cut my model out because i had already taken her picture onto a white background, this i though would be easier but then soon discovered that the shadowing behind her was a great effect. I collected all my font using http://www.dafont.com/ which was great for all different types of font. I print screened the word i needed and then using the lasso tool highlighting around the outside then rubbed out the white background which went on top, this i thought looked very professional. I created a grey strip along the bottom and then decreased the gradient to show the image underneath. My contents page was very much repeating the skills i had learnt to use for my front cover, by learning how to move I
mages and fonts around using there layers made it very easy for me to place everything how i wanted them to be presented. For my double page spread i used to font off of the website and copied and paste it onto my page, i then used the angle tool to tilt the words a bit that would match up with the angle of the picture, this i think looks presentable and neat. I placed a line down the center of the page which showed me where the middle was so i didn't go over. The image i took taken by the camera shown already make a dark background because i used the flash in a dark room, this blends in which i think makes a good effect. i took up to 70 photo's and then shortlisted them and chose the best ones, the advantage in taking that many photo's was that i had a various selection to chose from. To present all my work, i used http://www.blogspot.com/ where everything is presented.
