Progress Monitoring- Week 5

Progress Monitoring- Week 5

Monday & Tuesday- These two lessons consisted of me working in Photoshop to design my contents page. I used the magazine Company as inspiration for my layout as well as a professional look. These two lessons were successful in that I only had a few things to add before my product was complete- I did this during a free lesson on Thursday. Below are the stages of my production:

This is the beginnings of my contents page, I created this in Photoshop and began with two background layers, one grey, one purple.

The blue box contains some of the content of my magazine.

I then added a pink brush stroke to separate some of the content

and to stick to the feminine colour scheme.

I then added more content and some text over the pink brush stroke. I also added a picture of one of my models to the right of the text.

 I altered the image slightly and added a second brush stroke- this time blue- to the right hand side of the page. This has "pg 22" written across it, giving an indication to my audience as to where this image is found in relation to the rest of my magazine. This is the final product of my contents page, which I completed on Thursday as homework.

 

Wednesday- I was excused from college for the day in order to visit a potential university.

Friday- Today I have written up the first draft of my fashion article. I have not yet completed this, so as homework over the weekend I will complete this and during Monday’s lesson I will ask a peer to read over it for me.

Overall this week hasn’t been that successful in terms of work load, as I missed Wednesday’s lesson, however I am aware of what needs to be done to catch up and am very pleased that I have now completed my contents page.
