evaluation


Induction evaluation:

I have already learnt some skills that are extremely helpful no matter how basic; I now know how to use manual focus on the camera instead of using the automatic function. I also learned how to best hold the camera, the best way to hold it is by having the strap around your neck and while taking a photo to stand in the ‘T-stance’. The way you make this stance is by putting your strongest foot in front of the other and resting the majority of your weight onto it while keeping steady with the back one
But in terms of Photoshop skills I have learned how to add text and add effects onto the text such as stroke, which gives the letters a coloured outlining which can make it look more aesthetically pleasing or just to make it stand out more than the background so it is readable.
The way you do this is by creating some text that is done by pressing the ‘T’ icon that is on the left toolbar this will let you select where you want to place the text. After typing and placing where you want the text to be you click away from it and go into the bottom right and click the little ‘fx’ button this will let you edit the text in any way you want.
The last thing that I did was that i went onto Google and searched up ‘Barcode’ and went onto Google images, after that I saved it and went onto Photoshop and opened a new window and opened up the picture and dragged it onto my magazine cover, I then held down ‘cmd’ + ‘T’ and held down shift so that I could resize it.
