What have you learnt about the technologies from the process of constructing this product?
The technology I used to create my product:

What I have learnt from Photoshop:


After inserting my image I realised the model in my image was facing away from empty space

So I then clicked on edit and scrolled down to transform to then select flip horizontal; my image then looked much better because she was then looking into the empty space

What I have learnt from Photoshop:


To insert text onto my

background layer I selected the T text tool at the side on the tool bar I then wanted to make my font more appropriate for a college magazine, so I changed my font using the drop down tool at the top of the page to select a different font.

I also wanted to change the colour of the text so I clicked the colour box on the tool bar and selected the colour I wanted.

What I have learnt from Photoshop:


The text didnt completely stand out over the image so to make it stand out, I clicked the fx tool on the side of the page where it showed my layers, I then chose Bevel and Emboss which then added a drop to the text. Making it stand out.
AFTER

BEFORE

What I have learnt from Photoshop:


To create a flash box I used the rectangle tool on the tool bar, I then wanted to make it stand out so I used an outer glow chosen from the fx drop down selection.

I then selected the opacity and size of the outer glow. I also selected the appropriate colour to suit the magazine.

What I have learnt from Photoshop:


Because I wanted to insert an image of a barcode, I clicked on file and selected place

It then opened up a choice of images I could select, I then chose barcode and it inserted it onto my product. I then resized it to fit into the right hand corner of my front cover.

What I have learnt from In Design:


To insert text into in design, I clicked on the T (text tool) in the text bar and I inserted a text box in the position I wanted it in. At the top of the page I had the choice of various fonts, and I chose the continuous one I have used for everything else. I typed what I wanted to write and then to change the colour I highlighted my text and selected the colour block on the toolbar and picked my colour.

What I have learnt from In Design:


Because I wanted to insert an image I selected the rectangle frame tool and created it where I wanted to picture to be.

I then selected place from the file drop down and selected the image I wanted to place inside the rectangle frame.

What I have learnt from In Design:


My image didnt look exactly how I wanted it. So I then right clicked on the image and selected fitting which lead me to another drop down, where I selected fit content proportionally

Holding shift I then moved the image according to how I wanted it. It then fit proportionally into the rectangle frame tool.

What I have learnt from In Design:

Because I wanted a thick coloured frame around my image, I selected stroke from the various selections of tools on the tool bar and increased the weight of the stroke to 6pt.

To change the colour of the stroke I then selected the swatches option and chose a purple from the swatches that I had also used for other frames.
