Evaluation Question 4

Question 4: What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product.

For all of my publications I used Photoshop.

One thing that I had to do whilst doing my front cover was to decide what colour to have my main headline, for this I had to look at different shades until I chose the colour I wanted. I did this by using colour libraries then looking through the different shades until i found the right colour. In the end I chose red with a black outline.

 On my double page spread one of the most important things was to make sure that my article was positioned properly. I did this by making sure that all the text boxes were the same size by using the move tool. I then had to position it so that all three text boxes were in the same postition. Then I put the text in. One thing that I had to make sure of was that the words were not seperated. Something else I did with the text is when I put who was talking, I changed the colour of the text to either pink or blue. I changed the colour by using the colour option in the top bar.

Although I did not use this in my final publication, one thing that i experimented with cropping out the background. The way that I did this was I used the magic wand tool and the magic eraser to get rid of big parts of the background. Then to smooth round the edges I used the eraser tool and zoomed in the picture so that I could make the edges smoother.
