Taking the photo's

 

I was very lucky when it came to taking my photo's as I has the privilege of using the school's professional camera. However what looked like a straightforward job became rather difficult. I had to make sure that I was taking a mid shot and that the camera was in focus by holding the camera up close so that my eye was looking through the lens. I was very lucky as the quality of the photo's came out really well and in my opinion look very professional.

 

 

 





Downloading the photos

The camera had an SD card that I could slot into the schools computer and save them to my memory stick. I then used my memory stick to import the photo's to my laptop back at home. I also felt that it would benefit me if I had a safe copy of all the original photo's on my email which I could do by using SkyDrive.

Editing my photo's

I realised that in order to achieve the professional music magazine look, it was vital to edit my photos. For this I used the editing website 'Pixlr'  I felt that this website was very clear to follow and I was satisfied with the way my front cover looks. The most tool I used on this website was the vintage filters. I felt that this filter made my image portray the 'indie-pop' look.

Main equipment

Although I had the opportunity to work with an apple computer, I felt that to save my time I would stick to using my Lenovo laptop at home. I did this because I was unfamiliar to how the apple computers work having that I have never owned one before. 

Construction of the magazine, DPS and contents

For the actual making of my magazine I also used the editing website 'Pixlr' this was because It was easy to follow and enabled me to carry a constant house style. I used this website to add the texts and overlay images. The only downside I found when using this website was that if you didn't like something you had done a while ago you would have to undo everything you had done after that. his often resulted in loosing out a lot of what I had done, therefore every now and then I would save the image to a word document just in case I wanted to change something.
