Unit 3 & 21

LO4 (Unit 3) - Be able to carry out post-production techniques and processes for an original media product to a client brief. (M4:U3,  D1:U3) My front cover and double page spread sample pages have been completed, by myself, using Adobe Photoshop. I have exported both content as j.peg images. This enables me to easily upload it onto any computer (or any other devices), ensuring that the content cannot be manipulated, and that the fonts/texts do not appear faulty or are lost. Front Cover: This is my final and completed front cover for my magazine. This front cover meets the client brief as all of the content is original and created/produced by me. It also meets the requirement to create sample pages, as this is the front cover sample page. The image was photographed in North London (Camden Lock, to be specific) by myself. This meets the client brief, as it specifies that the magazine should be North London based as well as include original content. ...

This enabled me to add the image of the person without the background, which is what can be seen in this image as the finished result. This makes the main subject of the image stand out and more eye-catching. In this image, I have added the logo for Grimed Out Magazine as the ma...

LO3 (Unit 3) - Be able to create production materials for an original media product to a client brief. (P4:U3, M3:U3) For the production of my magazine, I took a series of original photographs on a Canon DSLR camera. Two of these images, that I believe to be the best shots, will be edited and used for my double page spread and front cover in Grimed Out Magazine. Image 1: Type: Medium-long shot This is the image that I have selected for my front cover. I chose this photo for my front cover due to the many features it includes. For example, there is a vibrant and eye-catching background consisting of graffiti. The justification for this is that it will fit well with the theme of Grimed Out Magazine as the logo looks like spray-painted graffiti, and is also photographed in an urban area, that tends to attract ages between 16-20 (this is also the age demographic for Grimed Out Magazine). Image 2: Type: Medium-close shot For my double page spread, I ...
