Photoshop practise


This is the outcome of the photoshop guide. Using this guide really helped me to know the basics of Photoshop and realise that it is not that complex. Following the guide, will help for all of my magazine work in the future as i can now produce a well produced piece of work. For the first try, this outcome was successful but there could be improvements in the future, such as really positioning everything with the correct spacing and making sure all the exact same colours and fonts are used. In the future, i will remember the basics of this and apply them to produce a well-designed piece.

Masthead ideas and connotations

I have decided to name my magazine 'Broken Record' as it relates to music and is quite up-beat also standing out. I have decided to go with the pastel blue text with that specific text. In my opinion, i thought this was the best and most eye-catching. For my target audience, 14-30, this colour is common and fresh. For my pictures, i have decided to take an image with a record with pastel blue on it. I think that this will be successful as it relates to the masthead name and also the colour.

Connotations of blue: Blue is the colour of the sky and sea. Associated with depth and stability. It symbolises trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, trust and heaven. Blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body.
