What I Have Learned So Far

So far, I have learned…

…the basics of taking photos and what makes a good, striking and interesting photo. I think I am clear on making sure the model(s) are not in the centre of the photo and photo angles which can alter the mood/tone of the photo and the model. I’ve also understood that the lighting and shadows of a photo are vital to a striking photo as well as the model’s pose, which can both change the tone of the photo. If there is one thing I have definitely learned about taking photos, then it is that it can be rather difficult to take a great pic.

…how to use a Mac, although it isn’t extremely different to a Windows PC when you get the hang of it. I did find it slightly difficult yet good fun to navigate around the Mac’s folders and desktop icon dock, which, after a few minutes of getting the grasp of it, can be simple to use. As for the software, I was already well acquainted with Photoshop which has made creating my front cover and contents page much simpler than it could have been.

…how to design and sketch out my magazine’s front cover/contents page which for me wasn’t too easy since I’m not very artistic or creative. I soon found it easier though and managed to do both pages without too much struggle.
