Production Update

28/02/11

I have been working on my magazine double-page spread in Photoshop as well as my newspaper advertisement.

I've been putting the double-page spread together with a mixture of pictures and writing. I think that generally it needs more writing in order to conform with the conventions of a double-page spread, and I plan to complete more research to help me improve it. In the screenshot to the right, I am adding more writing to the page, though more still needs to be added as there is still not a sufficient amount.

The screenshot to the left shows me adapting two images into one through the use of layers. The bottom picture of the cinema is from a copyright free image website, which I've credited on the page, and I think the effect of my logo in the cinema screen ties in with the film TV channel theme. I like this adapted image, and may keep it when I make changes to my double-page spread.

I have been working on the newspaper ad to accompany my website/channel launch. I've been using Photoshop to work on my newspaper ad, and using the layers and filters available to create it.
Above is a screenshot of my work in Photoshop. This was taken towards the end of the production of my newspaper ad, as I was putting in the text and tilting it. I decided to put 'Screening soon..' instead of more detailed text because I decided to complete the newspaper ad as if it was an early ad, with more to follow, and thought that the simple phrase would make people want to find out more.



Above is a screenshot of a zoom-in to show the filter that I used on many of the pictures. I used the filter that added film grain to the picture as it is a film channel, and I felt that this linked in with the theme. The screenshot does not show the effect to its full advantage, but does give a good overall impression of it.
