What I am learning on In Design

 

Wed- I wanted to find out how to pate an image so I looked up a tutorial which showed me you had to go onto file then place. I also looked up how to make text more translucent, so I looked it up online and found out it’s a square with a grid in it.

 

Fri- I wanted to find out how to make the font thicken I figured out that you go onto stroke and weight and adjust the arrows with the number going up meaning it thickens.

 

Mon- I struggled with finding the bold for the font as I wanted to use it for my double page spread so I looked at a tutorial on YouTube and found out it was control shift b.

Here are some images that I have taken for my magazine. They are the original images without being edited on Photoshop. Most of the images were taken on a Canon 40D SLR with a Canon 85mm f/1.8 lense.

Photoshop 

I had edited these images on Photoshop. I wanted to make the image a lot darker and enhance the golden colour from the sun as it gives the photo more impact. I used colour balance, vibrance, exposure, curves and brightness/ contrast to give this effect.   

For this image i wanted to make it slightly darker as i wanted the runner to stand out more. i also added more contrast which helped it stand out more. I did uses a lot of layers which all are shown bellow.
