Evaluation


Progress Report 13





I spent the next few sessions writing the text for the feature article and inserting it into the Photoshop document. I used lines to keep the text neat and in order and added a pull quote to break up the text a bit and follow magazine convention to draw readers to the text.

Progress Report 12



In this session, in order to preserve the essence of the front cover, I used the 'wet sponge' brush to create a 'banner' for the headline and standfirst to reside on. I then used several text boxes with different font sizes to create the headline, and began the standfirst. Finally, using a filler text generator, I created a general sense of what form the article's text would take.

In this session I began work on my double page spread. I started by adding the page number layers in the same way as I did on the contents page. I then measured out the vertical and horizontal halfway lines in order to keep my article in order. I then added one photograph, with the intention of creating a collage of many pictures, but found that when I cropped and reduced it in size, it looked rather appealing. Thus I decided to have one large picture instead of a collage.
