Update on coursework

This week I have finished my interview and have finished creating the QR code and considering which images to place where. Perhaps for improvement I might adjust the layout depending on how things will plan out. So next week I will work on adding the pictures and see if they suit where I am going to place them and finish editing them.

Double Page Spread so far

This week I began to start on my double page spread. First of all I came up with the title of the article then I began to write my article. I felt that writng the article was quite easy however, next week I will finish it. In addition, I found the laying out the page the most difficult due to thinking what will look best in certain places also how the pictures will look when added. Furthermore, I decided to create an interactive element to my page and I thought this would good to add through additional research and how magazines now incorporiate a Smartphone Scan QR code within their articles to provide additional information through the internet such as videos, extra interviews, pictures etc.
So next week I will finish the Smartphone Scan QR code off and complete the interview and begin inserting images into all the pages.

Here is the link to a copy of my double page spread so far:

Some of my edited pictures

With these images I decided to edit them on adobe photoshop and I decided to edit the exposure, tiny and temperature, hue and saturation and brightness and contrast each of them. Overall, I am pleased with the outcome and I feel that I have become more confident with the software.













Overview of this weeks work

This week I have begun to edit my pictures and continued to work on my contents page. With my contents page I need to finish writing the names of the articles and add the images and add the final touches before I upload my final first draft. Additionally I have begun to think of ideas for my double page spread and how perhaps I will structure it and lay it out.
