Throughout the process of creating ‘KBT’ music magazine I have learnt how to use a digital camera, Photoshop and how to create a blog. in the process of taking pictures I used a tripod, this helped to keep the pictures in level and in focus. I learnt more stuff about Photoshop including the mask toot for cutting out pictures perfectly. When cutting out photos I have learnt that it is easier if they are taken with a blank background. In Photoshop I also learnt how change a photos contrast, un blur and change the brightness. To cut out the images around the hair I used to making tool. This helped a lot as it cuts out all the tricky bits around the hair.
Using the blog to present my work has allowed me to keep on track with my work and progress. The Blog is available for people from all over the world to see and it has allowed my to receive constructive criticism which has led to me making changes so my end product will be the best it can.
I have stuck to only including one picture on my front cover, another on my contents page and another on my first page of my article. many top selling magazines use this technique on some of there pages. E.g 'Q', 'XXL' and 'Vibe'. using this on my front cover makes it look more organised. In the hooks i have make the main words about what is included stand out. this will catch the readers eye and make them read on. i have stuck to a house style throughout my magazine to make it look more professional.
