Magazine Cover Questions

a. a) What qualities of your magazine cover make it effective? (eg. What makes it eye catching?, What about it promotes curiosity?, How is it visually pleasing?, What makes it easy to understand?)

The qualities of my magazine cover that make it effective are the colour co-ordination that in my opinion is very eye catching. Also the topic i’ve raised on the cover is one many are interested in. Gaming consoles are talked about all around the world and to do a magazine on this I think is a good idea and would make somebody a lot of money. If you were to look at my magazine cover you would already know what the magazine was going to be about its very self explanatory because there are pictures of two game consoles on the cover. People would be curious to see whats inside because I used CNN as a article on it and for some people they would be curious to know what CNN thinks.

b. b) What was the order of hierarchy you were trying to achieve for the elements on your magazine cover?

The first in my order of hiearchy was the colour co-ordination. If you colour is very eye catching then people will look at your magazine and actually read the articles on it. The second was my title, I wanted to have a good title so it would get the viewer/reader thinking. The last thing in my order of hierarchy was the topic which was gaming consoles. Many peple like gaming consoles and like to read about which is better, so I think this was a good topic to pick.

Class Task #3

  

1. What combination of tools did you use to isolate the fruit in “fruit_combo.jpg” and where in the image did you use which tool?

Answer: I used the magnetic wand and at the end I used the eraser for the finishing touches.

 2. Of the methods you used to isolate the fruit in the 3 pictures. Which method did you find most effective in this case?

Answer: I think the magnetic wand was the most effective and it was easy to use.

3. Experiment with the following: After you make a selection in the menu and go to      a) Select > Modify > Expand      b) Select > Modify > Contract      c) Select > Feather What do these do? Post a fourth image indicating that you know what feathering does.

a. Answer: With this selection the fruit bowl becomes bigger or smaller based upon the pixel size.

b. For this one its the same thing.

 c. For this selection it’s the same thing as the magnetic lasso tool.

Class Task # 4

1. The 300 dpi would be more clearer because there would be more detail in the picture and the more dots per inch the more clear if at 72 dpi then when printed out it would be way more blurry then 300 dpi.  

2. A picture with 1 dpi would be very blurred and hard to see because there would be less detail and only 1 dpi so it would be more blurred.
