Preliminary Exercise - Magazine

As an introduction to this course, we began with two preliminary exercises. Firstly the film (which i will comment on, in a later post) and secondly the magazine cover.

During the introduction to producing the magazine the class were told to get into 'pairs.' Afetr deciding who to work with (Olivia), we made  a rough paper design of the front cover of the magazine. I brought in a camera from home and Olivia and I took a veriety of photographs of different individuals around school for the front cover, to distingush who was the most photogenic.

After deciciding which photo to use, i learnt how to use photoshop pro 5.0, which initially seemed difficult; turned out to be fairly simple.

A difficulty which we had to over come was that after half completing the magazine front cover Olivia was away for several lessons, and i had to finish the front cover singley - with the help of olivia via e-mail (e-mailing images of the front cover) and phone calls so Olivia could give her imput.
