Blog Entry – 18^th March 2014

From this project I have gained a few skills in a range of different things. One of the things that I have gained is the ability to research information and to select the correct parts to insert into the article or to insert as sell-lines etc. I have also gained some skills in photoshop for example the creation of baseline on the front cover; I downloaded new fonts and added in images to be able to create this.

I found the use of in-design and photoshop quite difficult and made a lot of mistakes, I found myself deleting and re-doing a lot of my sections and layers to try and improve them. I found it very difficult to find a powerful enough font to use for my headline on the front cover, I had to change a lot of the fonts and download a large range to be able to pick the correct one.

I think that the title and the sub-headlines across the top look effective with the contrasting colors, it creates an aesthetically pleasing view and draws the readers eye to the title.

However I think that the full affect of the front cover will be seen when I can finally insert my images from my photo-shoot, the lighting that I will use should help even further to draw attention to the title even more.

I also need to insert more sell lines into the product, to help with drawing the eye in and creating more of a sense of intrigue into.

I attempted to carry out a photoshoot, however my model didn’t show up, which lead to the photo shoot being rescheduled to a later date to allow me to make sure that the model is available and that I can collect all of the correct props.
