This is the second picture I am going to use for my front cover.

Edited Main Image

Here I have edited the picture in photoshop. I used the red-eye tool in photoshop and used the Spot Healing Brush Tool and Clone Stamp Tool to get rid of some blemishes.

Main Image

I decided to take a mid shot of my friend to be my College Magazine main image. I chose to take a picture of him next to some information about NUS cards but knew that it would need some editing because of red-eye.

G321 Foundation Portfolio in Media

For my Media AS coursework, I am firstly creating a College Magazine, with a front cover and a contents page, using four of my own photos. I will use DTP and an image manipulation program- primarily Photoshop.

For the main task, I will create a music magazine including a front cover, a contents page and a double page spread. All of my text and images will be original and my own work, with a minimum of 4 pictures included in it.

I will be using this blog like a diary to track everything that I do to both my magazines throughout the year. I will be including things such as original and edited pictures with text about what I have done and will also include all of the research that I do. It will track my progress and my thought processes and show all of the work I have done throughout the year, in class and in my own personal time, too.

I will be showing my planning, including uploading images that I have taken as well as copies of magazines that I have looked at. Through this I will discuss the pros and cons of most of the images and explain why I have chosen the images that I have.
