Downloading Fonts

I needed to download fonts to go on my products to make them look trendy
and stylish to go with my target audience so i used a site called DAFTFONT.COM

I downloaded a font called BA WET PAINT to use on my mock magazine. I saved it and extracted it, then I copied it to windows then font and downloaded it to photoshop to use, here is a photo of the font that I downloaded and a link of the site.

Mock up Magazine Front Cover 2

In my second mock front cover I used various things on photoshop to help me create my front cover. I used transparancy tools to create a main layer at the top of the mage for my title to go on and I also used various text tools such as resizing and colour changes to create cell lines on the front cover. The main image was took myself using different apperture times to make the background of the picture blurry.

media practical 1

For this picture I used a shutter speed of 60/1000 to get the right speed for the torch to show up on my photograph.

For this image I wanted the leaves to look like they had just been chucked into the air without any blurryness of the person in the background, i made them throw leaves in the air and try jump at the same time to do this. I used a shutter speed of 40/1000

In this practical lesson I have learnt how to use shutter speed correctly because before hand I didn't know how to use it. Shutter speed is used to get the right movement in your photograph so you can capture the movement of an image without it being blury. I used this skill effiecently as I could however my main weakness was still gaining blury images and forgetting what the shutter speed was. My strength was being able to focus properly on the image and capture it so I achieved what being able to use shutter speed correctly. To progress I need to remember what my shutter speed is after takeing the pictures for when I edit them.

Posing Pictures

In this practical lesson I took pictures of my model illustrating different poses to go on my magazine. I was given a sheet of different poses to create with an image using my model. I chose this pose because it is very seductive and would appeal to the younger target audience. I learnt how to help my model be confident in posing when being in photo's and  I also learnt various ways inwhich I could use different poses to fit with different thing's.

Mock up Magazine 1

This is my mock up magazine front cover. I have used different
elements of photoshop to help me create it, the first one I used was exporting fonts from the internet called BA WET PAINT for my main heading. I used various text tools such as resizing the text and colour elements. I imported photos from the interent such as the bar code and resized the image. I used layers to apply them on to eachother to make the magazine. I took the main image myself and used magnetic lasso to cut it out and place it in the middle.
