M4: Exporting Media

Image
            M4: How I exported my magazine       As you can see in the screenshots above, I decided to export my magazine as a TIFF file. For my Sheldon Cooper front cover that I created in Adobe Photoshop I clicked file, save as and placed this in a folder as a TIFF file. For my contents page that I created using Adobe InDesign I used file, export to export this as a PDF because TIFF is not an option for exporting in InDesign. In the settings for exporting the magazine contents page and double page spread, I turned compression to none so the PDF magazine is the highest quality as possible. I then opened the PDF is Adobe Photoshop, drew a white background box for the white page background on the layer underneath. I did this for both my contents page and DPS. I then exported both of them by choosing the file, export option and chose the TIFF file option. For saving or exporting, there are lots of file types you can choose from suc...

P4: Production Materials

Image
               P4: Production Materials  Here you can see my contact sheets that contain all the photos I have taken for my Sheldon Cooper magazine. The images highlighted by the red squares are the ones I will be using for my magazine. magazine Contents pages (slideshare.net) magazine Contents pages (slideshare.net) The first image (20220318_121849.jpg) I have chosen is going to be for my contents page. On my visualisation diagram you can see I have included an image of Sheldon looking at his laptop in the top left corner, therefore I had my Sheldon Cooper model do the same thing with a laptop prop. This is a medium camera shot and I chose this photo because it isn't slanted like some of the other photos and because it is more in focus compared to the others. I will use photo 20220318_132323.jpg as the double page spread image because my model looks superior and this is a low angle, medium camera sho...

M3: Genre, Codes and conventions

Image
        Codes and Conventions of a Magazine For this report, I will be writing about the code and conventions of industry magazines. I will explain how my It's All About Sheldon Cooper TV magazine, including my assets, follows the unwritten rules of magazines and their layouts. The repetition and difference genre theory by Steve Neale (1988): Genres must all contain some instances of repetition and some instances of difference, difference is essential to the economy of the genre. To relate to this theory, I am following conventions of TV magazines that are already out there (which is the repetition/similarities), but I am creating the magazine on the character Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory which hasn't been done before (this is the difference).      This is my masthead for my Sheldon Cooper TV magazine. A masthead is the brand name of my magazine, TV Fanatics. I decided to use this name because it clearly states the genre of my maga...

              P5: Post-production Techniques This is the original unedited photo that I edited to use for my Sheldon Cooper magazine front cover.       I chose to edit all my photos in Adobe Lightroom because the main purpose of the software is to edit photos to make them look great for photography. The first thing I did was edit the levels of the photo. This will make the photo look better. Next, I decided to remove any blemishes from my model's face, I have seen professionals do this for their magazines so I decided to follow. I did this by using the spot healing tool and the healing brush. I also removed eye bags.   Here you can see I have brightened my model's eyes using the spot healing brush and the options.             Here you can see I have exported my photo so I can place in Photoshop. Here I have used Adobe Photoshop to create my Sheldon Cooper magazine...
