Question 6:
I have used photoshop and a camera to take the photos and construct the main images and to give my magazine the modern look. I have learnt a few things about photoshop while I was using it such as some new techniques while using a camera. I have learnt; how to take a picture on a Canon E0S 400D camera, what angle of proportion I need to take a photo,how much space I need at the top and how much background space I need on the sides. All my pictures are taken from a variety of loactions. I have taken them from the pictures in doors, some of them are from hallways and passages and the other images are from the studio's. In order to make my model in front of the cover look distracted I had to make her look away front the camera and have the light arms length away from her so it gives my image depth. I have used a Canon E0S 400D and a normal 8 megapixcel camera. I have used the digital camera for the contents page only. This was done so my image doesn't all look dark. I haven't experienced any problems with the camera's I have used.The make of my camera was Eastman Kadok Company and the model of my camera was Kadok Easyshare M863 Digital Camera. The shutter speed I used was 1/8 sec. the ISO speed ratings was 320. I have used this digital camera to take the contents page images.
Another thing I have learnt with technology is in Photoshop. My skills in Photoshop have improved and although I have used Photoshop before. I have used Photoshop through out the process of making my front cover, contents page and double page spread. I have used Photoshop CS5 the most. I have chosen to use this Photoshop the most because I find it was easier to than the other Photoshop. I have used the adjusted tool to change the brightness and contract of my magazine.
I have also used a rectangle box tool to create my boxes in my contents page and double page spread.
Photoshop is a very important because it can save my work as a JPEG file and upload it into my blog. My blog can not upload other images if they are not saved as a JPEG. So for this reason I have saved all my work in JPEG and uploaded this to my blog from Photoshop. In the process of contracting my magazine I have also learnt how to install fonts from Da fonts into Photoshop. This was my first technique I have learnt about font uploading and how to do it.
As I was taking the pictures using the Canon E0S 400D I have used flash equipment which is a little flash box that has a red light that flashes. When I was taking the pictures of my models my camera had a soft box. The soft box is to give off light softly and not make it to strong at the model. By doing this the model is shown to be reflected with nice toned in the images and it gives a good depth of the light and dark areas. I have used a Bawens GM500m and Gemini to make my image come out clearer and to make my images look professional. The soft box is 60cm long. The espirt monitor’s my image and checks how my images will turn out. By doing this long process of taking pictures my images have come out very high quality and they look professional. The colours I have achieved are very suitable and clean for my magazine. I have then used Photoshop to briefly clean up my images.
While I was Blogging I had a few problems which I have sorted out now.
One of my problems with Blogging is that the images that I had to upload have to be compacted together into a JPEG. So I had to put at the images into Photoshop and then I had to save them as a JPEG. If this method was not done then the images are too big and when I co to choose he images they just won’t come up. Some of the images were saved in Microsoft paint and then uploaded.

The second little problem I had with Photoshop is that when I copied the evaluation from Microsoft word into blogger I had to change the fonts because the original font look too small so I had to take each section and then have it changed in to one size and one font. This is so my work looks consistent and professional. I have changed the font into Arial and the sizing is normal.
