During the process of creating some of the drafts for my front cover and my contents page I have started to become a little bit familiar with how to use phottoshop. At first I struggled immensely but luckily during class my teacher gave us a couple of simple territorials.
Here is an example of a website that our teacher gave us that we could use :http://www.pegaweb.com/tutorials/beginners-guide-adobe-photoshop/4-blending-options-special-effects.htm
This website shows our class how to do some of the simple things that you can do with photoshop. For example I learnt how to change to colouring of a image to make images look darker, I did this when I had a image that was to bright because of the sun. You can see this in the second draft of my magazine front cover as the colour of the students is noticebly darker and iroinically this actually makes the image stand out more. I also learnt one of the most important yet basic things to need to know about photoshop and this is about the use of laeyrs. This allows you to add things like colourful backgrounds without having to over complicate things and it helps you edit things a bit more easily.
Another thing that I learnt during the process of making another draft of my front cover is how to make my front cover more professional. My teacher adviced me to change the font of my title so that it would be in sink with the other font that I had used. As otherwise it did't match at all. I tried t aruge with me teacher as I said that it made it look unique, however once I refelcted and changed it I realised it made the front cover look extremely professional.
