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

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

This is how I used the clone stamp tool and spot healing brush to make my model's face look free of blemishes and dark circles under her eyes, and also how I got rid of the shadows from underneath her glasses. I started off at first by selecting the spot healing brush and selecting all of the blemishes on her forehead that I wanted gone from the image, and then when this was done I used the clone stamp tool to give her face a more smooth complexion. I then used the clone stamp tool to get rid of the shadows created by her glasses, by selecting a part of her skin that I wanted her whole skin to be the same colour as, and then left clicking on the shadows so that it was the same colour as the rest of her skin tone.

This is how, using the quick selection tool, I got rid of the background surrounding my model. I selected the quick selection tool on the panel, and then left clicked and dragged my mouse so that it selection a certain part of the background and pressed delete to get rid of this part of the background. I did this so that eventually just my model was left without a background surrounding her so that when I pasted the picture onto an A4 paper in Photoshop, the background of the photo shoot wouldn't be included as it had been deleted.

This is how I used the brush tool and changed the capacity to make my model's eyes look more blue. At first I zoomed in on the eye, and selected the brush tool and changed the colour to a bright blue, I then brushed over the eye with the blue and then changed the capacity to a smaller percentage to make it look more realistic. 

This is the process I went through to make my final front cover. The technologies I used include transform, scale and rotation of the image and the boxes, the shape tool to create the boxes behind text, the brush tool to create the grey background, the text tool which included changing the font and style of text, and changing the opacity of shapes and colours:

This is the process I went through to make my final contents page. The technologies I used include transform and scale to change the size of the images used, changing the opacity of shapes and colours, the text tool which included changing the character, font, size and colour of the text used, the brush tool to create a grey background, and the shape tool to create the boxes:

This is the process I went through to make my final double page spread. The technologies I used at first on Publisher include scaling the images, copy and pasting the article I wrote and changing these all to the 'tight' format so that when I wanted to add in my pull quotes, the article would form around the pull quotes to give it a more profession look, I also used the shape tool to give the images a grey background. The technologies I used on Photoshop include the text tool, which included changing the font and size of the pull quote I used, I also used the shape tool to create the boxes behind the pull quote next to the images, and then I changed the opacity of the boxes behind the text too.

Improved double page spread

I changed the background of my double page spread to keep the continuity throughout my whole magazine, and I added an extra pull quote to create more colour rather than the article looking plain as it was just black and white.

Improved contents page final draft

I changed my contents page to make it look brighter and a lot more eye-catching, I also put blue bands behind the page numbers of the images to help with the continuity as it matches the blue bands on my front cover.

Contents page teacher feedback

This is the feedback my teacher gave me for my contents page. I am going to add a caption to the photo of my artist and add summaries of the articles I have advertised on the right hand list of contents, I will also change the colour scheme a little to break down the grey and black colours of my contents and see what colours work well and make the page more appealing.

Peer feedback - Luke

I like the layout of your contents page as it looks very professional. I also like the contents of your articles.
The font isn't as formal as it could be, it may be seen as 'cartoony' x

Feedback

Really good contents page, colourful and looks very professionally made - Danny

Peer Feedback

The strengths of your contents page are the text as it is bright, looks professional and stands out, the pictures are good and look like they could feature in a real magazine. I like the colour scheme too!
I think that to improve you would maybe change the photographs around so the artist on the cover is the larger of the two images.

Final contents page

I really like my final contents page draft, I have used conventions to make it look professional and I think the colour scheme matches really well and matches the colour of the masthead of my magazine too. The 'subscribe' plug is a different colour to everything else, which means it stands out from the rest and will draw peoples' attention. I didn't put a border around the pictures, but added lines to put them in boxes to separate them from one another, which I think makes it look neater and professional.

Contents page draft three

In this draft I have put borders around my pictures and the background of my features and my 'subscribe' plug, I also changed the font to make the contents page look a little more interesting and less plain. I added backgrounds to the headings, and although I think it makes them stand out more for my next draft I am going to change the colour as I think that the blue doesn't stand out enough. I also think I will change the layout a little as all my features are a bit uneven and I think that by making the different sections of features level with each other it will make my contents page look more professional.
