Design Skills 1

Through the production of my magazine I used Indesign and photoshop. This was useful in making my picture look the best it can and then designing my magazine in my own creative way.

New skills I learnt –

• Give the text an inner or outer glow
• Remove spots or imperfections
• sharpen areas in my picture

Here are two tools I used most. First is the spot healing tool and second is the sharpen tool. I think they are helpful to create a flawless, and youthful image.

Other tools used –

– This is a very popular tool used where I set out where photos and text should go before I place it, it helps me get an idea of my layout. This is useful when developing ideas for my magazine as I know where I want things to start.

– This tool is common to use on indesign and is used to give writing a unique view. It contains many factors which are useful when being creative and having fun with words ect. This also helps convey the genre through text as you can have your own feel on it which can suit a specific genre. It also helps grab the attention of the audience as it can be made fun and have a pop to it.
