 For this product I used photoshop to try and make an image look scary. I did this by uploading a photo and then using the 'magnetic laso tool' I dragged her teeth to make them look like vampire teeth. After doing this I then made her face colour look cold and death like, I did this by using the 'sponge tool'. I then used the 'burn tool' and made her mouth red and eyes stand out more, making her look more scary.

Induction Project Evaluation
Throughout this project I have developed a lot of new skills whilst working with a camera and using Photoshop. When using the camera I learnt the difference between portrait and landscape and in Photoshop I made a margin so the images and text would be in line, I also learnt how to add an image to the document which I found was quite easy and making the image transform was another skill I now have. The weaknesses I had been trying to focus the camera so the image wasn’t blurry which I found difficult but towards the end I learnt this skill well. I am progressing as at the beginning of the project I wasn’t able to do many things in Photoshop but now I am able to use most of the tools.
Looking at my skills development assessment sheet I have used many of the skills there, including the text control, filters and the layers. I used these effectively by making the text and images look more professional and this demonstrates my skills progression as this tells you how I got the front cover to look how it does and how I did it. The weaknesses in my work as the colour of the font and if I did this project again I would make the colour be the same as a colour in the image so it connects more together.
The target audience before I re-branded the product was anyone between 13-18, where as my new target audience is females aged between 15 and 21. The topics I have discussed on the front cover will make the target audience interested in my magazine and the colours used will make them interested in it as they aren’t really bright colours which could be used for children.

Using Photoshop, I uploaded an image of a women with spots. Using the healing brush tool I 'got rid' of all the spots. I did this by clicking the healing brush tool and then creating a new layer. After selecting all of the layers I used the keys 'alt' and right clicked over one part of the skin, then clicking over a spot and making it disappear. From using Photoshop I learnt a new skill which was the healing brush.

CD cover - urban heroes, media warrior


I created my CD cover, which is called Urban Hereos with their new single Media Warrior, using Photoshop. In Photoshop I used fronts and different brushes. The first thing I did was find out the dimensions of an actual CD and I then opened a new document and made it the same. I got my font from the internet which I then saved onto my computer, I thought this was better than using a font already available on Photoshop as it would relate better to the CD cover. When I was making my background there were various shapes I could of used and when I picked the appropriate ones I changed the shape dynamic and the scattering of the shape. I thought the shapes blended in well together and the final product looked suitable for the CD.
