Adjusting images

We got a selection of images and had a chance to adjust them by using various different tool such as contrast, brightness and saturation.

This is the image i edited.

Basic photoshop skills

In week 2 we learnt how to use basic photoshop skills. The first tool we learnt how to use was the  spot healing brush; we used this to remove scratches from an old photograph. We then used the healing brush tool to remove wrinkles from an image.

We then used the lasso tool to cut around the image of a celebrity.

Learning these skills will going to help us when we come to edit the photographs for our real magazine.

Q&A

In the first week of media, we developed our q&a skills by creating fake interviews with a partner with the intention of making them interesting. We had a few minutes to ask questions and get to know each other before we wrote up a creative passage about them. I was paired with Sophie and this is what i wrote:

Sophie Oliva is a horse-riding enthusiast who has a passion for animals.  The 16 year old lives in shoebury and attended the Southend High School For Girls in which wasn’t one of her best experiences; Although Sophie did not enjoy school, she discovered an interest in art .

Sophie has many hobbies on the weekend such as: caring for her animals, shopping and listening to her favourite band Nirvana, however, her time will soon be consumed when she enters the world of work as a shop assistant.
