WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT ?

Olivia Dexter

Throughout the production of my music magazine I have developed skills within photography, InDesign and Photoshop.

Prior to the production of my magazine I had already a basic understanding of how to use both Photoshop and InDesign as I had previously used both in gsce. Initially I began making all of my magazine pages on Photoshop, however I found it to limiting. When it came to the magazine cover as there is little flexibility use images and boxes which are necessary to make the cover eye-catching.

Within the photography section of my production I looked at images from front covers, dps and contents pages before taking to images to show the models what I wanted from them. It also gave me an idea of what types of images I needed, to make the magazine successful.

Applying drop shadow gives the text more definition. I have also applied an inner glow, outer glow, inner shadow and inner glow to the text to give it further definition. This makes it stand out more on a blank page
