Preliminary (Left), Full Product (Right).
As you can see from the images above my finished product is notably better than my preliminary that I did in class. At the time I did my prelim, my knowledge of Photoshop and other creative software was thin and this is reflected through my less than average editing (Shown in the top left). Importing new images to and from Photoshop allowed me to discover new utilities within other software such as PowerPoint. The purpose of my prelim tasks (Jarvis Cocker, The Simpsons) served me mostly as experimental and educational work to help me create my final product.The positioning and appearance of sell lines and the masthead (as you can see) has greatly improved as the font has been made bold and placed onto a white background to make it more noticeable. My main image has also been greatly improved with an eye-line match shot to connect itself to the audience and the use of a guitar as a prop to anchor it to the magazines genre. It was only when creating my final product that I discovered how to effectively use layering, this can be seen as my model is in the foreground of my masthead whereas my main sell line overlays his stomach. I gave my masthead a shadow through Photoshop's layer 'Blending Options' to make it stand out more visually.
I discovered when creating my product that the internet is a vital part of communicating and advertising to the audience. Without sites such as Facebook, YouTube etc. it would be difficult and probably costly to share and 'distribute' my magazine.
