Evaluation Question 6

EVALUATION QUESTION 6:- WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES FROM THE PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING THE PRODUCT?

What is the process you went through to create your product?

The images show how I was able to construct my double page spread of my magazine. I used photo shop to edit my main image by replacing the image of the female because her eyes were closed, it shows how I used the resource I had fully efficiently. I also blurred the rest of the background to my double page spread allowing the models in my image stand out so they will be the main attraction of my page and look professional. I used a flat plan to get a basic idea of how I wanted my layout to look like then I worked around different R&B magazine inspirations to make it look better and improvise around my basic flat plan. I also used Photoshop to experiment and edit pictures front cover and content page.

How have you used an SLR or bridge camera?

I used a cannon SLR camera that allowed me to focus on my models featured and make it look highly defined so my model stands out a lot because she was on the front cover. I learnt how to use flash because it emphasised the location and surroundings look darker compared to the models this made the models stand out more. It added a cool blue case to in the image, so used to add some warmth. This helped me because it saved time in adding effect because in most of my pictures I auto adjusted them.

What website did you use through the production?

I used different types of presentation software’s online to present my planning. I used Prezzi, Emaze, Ticki Tocki, and Slide Share and survey monkey to present my research analysis. Using different types of presentations allowed me to present my planning and analysing different magazines more suitably. For example I used Ticki Tocki to present my data of R&B history on a timeline.

I used Blogger to make it easier to put all my work on to present it very neatly and for my project to have structure over the period of the course. I also used DaFont which was a website which allowed me to experiment with different fonts and allowed me to install them for me to use on Photoshop.

My evaluation consists of; Imovie, prezzi, emaze, shildshare and voice thread. I used this because it helped me present my work in more detail and also made my work more interesting and eye catching as it was presented in many different ways. It also allowed me to develop my ideas and to explain them when it came to talking about how the conventions of the magazine.

What post production did you use such as Photoshop and any desk top publishing software?

I used Photoshop to edit all my pictures and to make the models stand out compared to the background by adding shadow and highlighting around the characters bodies. For my front cover I made it black and white because I wanted it to contrast with the rest of the magazine as I felt this was the most important page and will be the main eye-catching image to consumers. I structured and did my layout onto the Photoshop because it allowed me to make sure all the text and columns were in line with each other. At first I found it tricky to use but with help of peers and self-teaching myself I found it quiet easy to use.

HIGH LIFE

Her soaring vocals and melodies, reflecting genres as diverse as hip hop and R&B music, have won millions of fans. And Michelle Deyna has quite a story to tell.

Tell me about your childhood in the US

Growing up in Chicago starting from the slums I never thought I’d make it. With success as a musician come many things: fame, pressure, money and a lifestyle that allows access to all manner of chemical substances. A few years ago a friend of mine, whom I’ll call JJ, got into the annoying habit of calling me every afternoon and screaming, “4-20”! I started from the basics a few blunts now and then discovering new drugs as the years went on. It was the first time I had felt so happy in my life little did I know I was living in a fantasy world. Until I got a second chance… 

At this point Michelle falls silent - I ask her to elaborate

'you realise you just saw another person dies, and that you were the last person to see them alive. you're exhausted afterwards, you analyse everything.' said the train driver. new report: Brooklyn heights station New Yorks 873 train struck the 21 year old women about 5.30 pm. The women was airlifted to hospital in grave condition. I take 100% blame I took several class A drugs in a short period of time,it was all fun and laughter then BOOM. I thought it all ended. Then sudden realisation of what pain looks like when you tell you mum and dad you relapsed and look them directly in the face. I was put into a comma for 17 days and I thank lord that I made it every day.

The success story that got her life together and change me I couldn’t take my second chance for granted. One day at a time is what they told me. Coming out for the first couple of days felt like I was fighting demons hope that no one would see it in my face. Hope that no one saw the failure under that hoodie I would carry on with my head held high. ‘When you are a serious music lover, the moments when your jaw drops are actually quite rare. But then again, those are the moments you really remember’. Was the moment that changed my life? I was discovered by my producer Robert Sway 'who said flowers can't bloom in a dark room', on a normal day of singing with my broken guitar trying to earn a living of a few bits of chance.I formed a new team with my now closest friends Chad Chinquay and Cee Williams who create beats and rap. With this amazing team we come up and enjoy music as and emerge a lot of amazing ideas together. Together we have sold over 6 million copied from our first album called ‘I don’t do drugs I make mixes’ being known as one of the fastest selling hits. THIS IS THE HAPPIEST I HAVE FELT. If I can be an example of getting sober, then I can be an example of starting over.
