Throughout the
construction of my product I have used Adobe Photoshop, canon 550D cameras and
advanced lighting to create my media product. Before starting this project I
already knew a small amount about Photoshop although I had never used many of
the advanced features that I have used to create my final product, such as the
clone stamp tool to clear up parts of my pictures such as a blemish on one of
my models faces or a small tear in a item of clothing. Another advanced feature
that I
learnt how to use in Photoshop was changing the brightness/contrast of images
to look more appealing to the viewer if there was any small amount of
discrepancies here. This helps to make my product look professional as without
making these changes the product would look 'childish' and inappropriate for my
target audience. By using the camera I have learnt how to take a professional
looking photo as is the case with the main image on my double page spread which
uses depth of field very subtly to further enhance the artist featured in the
image. Another technique that I learnt how to use with the camera was to change
the ISO settings in order to create a picture that is darker/lighter. The use
of lighting helped bring out different parts of my pictures as is the case of
the central image on the front cover where half of the models face is bright
casting a shadow over the over side of the face, this helps to add interest to
the artist featured as they look quite mysterious.
