Week 1

As I wasn't  here for week 1 the second week was my first week :)

I had to do a lot of catching up to do as I missed the introduction for Media Studies(AS). Which wasn't a problem as I straight away got on with the task. Which was getting familiar with Photoshop. I thinking playing around with Photoshop is the easy part as you do naturally get familiar with the tools.

However creating an actual magazine cover from scratch is quite difficult as it doesn't look professional. But I think you if you properly get familiar with the tools and know what tools do what job you will be fine.

In this lesson I learnt key skills which were

-How to crop an image

-How to resize an image

-Which colours really compliment each other

By playing with Photoshop it does help as when it comes to doing my actual magazine cover I will know exactly what to do. Which tools will help me get the cover that I want to create. So I won't be wasting time and I can get straight onto do doing my magazine cover. I think the most helpful tool for me was the paint tool and crop tool as I can paint backgrounds with the paint tool and pick many colours. And the crop tool was helpful as I could crop anything that I wanted and crop things that I didn't want.

In conclusion hope you enjoy my ammeter magazine cover :)
