Diary Entry: Week 5/6

On week 5 and 6 I made the rough cuts of my music magazine and got some feedback on them. Making the rough cuts themselves took me nearly two weeks themselves and the feedback only took me a day or so to collect. I used the lists from my initial sketches to design my magazine which turned out to be more difficult than first anticipated. However, I kept the attributes from the list that I thought worked well on the music magazine and didn’t use the attributes that didn’t work particularly well. I also used a lot of trial and error with the photo-shopping of photographs and also when deciding on font types and sizes. I used many of elements of photoshop to design my magazine including the magnetic lasso tool and the spot healing tool. I learned a lot about photoshop from making my music magazine and can now you it affectively and efficiently. When I had completed the rough design of my music magazine I got my peers to assess it and then I collected the feedback. This feedback showed me that I still have a lot of aspects to change when designing the final cut of my music magazine.
