Q6 What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing your product?
My knowledge for technologies has certainly improved throughout the progression of the creation of my music magazine product. In terms of Photoshop I already knew a great deal, but also feel I have become more efficient in the usage of the program and have also learnt a great deal about the tools available at my disposal. I have also learnt more about the usage of cameras and lighting.
In terms of cameras and lighting, I took some advice from an experienced photographer during the period of which I took my images for my magazine. I was told how to get an almost perfectly white background which would make it easier for the editing process. And example is the image below which I took using a white wall outside one of the college buildings. By standing at roughly five steps away, it made the background clear rather than being affected by patches that were lighter or darker than each other.
Also, I learned a bit more about editing the lighting composition of an image in photo shot. An example of this can be seen below (as taken from my front cover creation step by step on my blog). The first image shows my model as practically glowing with the aura of light that was present during the photo-shoot. In the second image, which was my one of my drafts for the front cover design, there is a clear difference in the lighting on the subject of the image. I adjusted the lighting (by using CTRL and L), and made the image darker, so he looked more naturally a part of the image, as if the background was always behind him.
