Introduction To The Blogger Account

24/01/2011: Lesson One
In this lesson, we were all introuced to the the Blogger website and photoshop. Firstly, we were a given a tutorial about how to use the photoshop followed by the different things that we could do. In the beginning, it was a bit difficult as it was new to us and some of us were unable to take on board the instructions given but we gradually began to grasp the activity a lot quicker. The first thing that we were taught was how to copy a picture onto the photoshop so that we could look at the variety of options we could choose from. In this we were able to work independantly in editing the photos, as well as changing the colours etc. I found this very helpful as in future, it will help me to be able to express myself better in the different topics and subjects in media that I may have to study. We did this by copying a picture of a chocolate where we bagan to edit it in our own way in order to produce our own individual designs. In doing this, it enabled us to explore the things that photoshop had to offer and it also helped to teach  us how we able to adapt using them in  our designs.


These two images show the photos of the chocolate images that we were able to use in order to edit it in our own way. The second example shows the magazine cover which was advertising fairtrade chocolate. By looking at this example we were able to get some ideas of how to construct our own magazine ideas. This was helpful to us as we were able to look at the different types of font, colour and text in order to look at how it would have been fit for its purpose. It was also helpful in showing the different ways that we could construct our magazines by the formation of the magazine.
