Photography/ graphic evaluation.
For this whole project our main aim was to produce a magazine
advert that was either freaky or unique. I decided to go with the freaky
approach because it was coming up to Halloween and my advert would fit in
perfectly. I had multiple ideas on what to do for this project. In the end I made
an advert to promote the popular drink Pepsi. I had researched a multitude of
things for this project in college and in my own spare time, and the more
detail you put into advert the better so that’s what I aimed for. My final
product took many different designs that I had created previously and I decided
why not to just add all the ideas together into one and come out with something
that uses all the ideas. I had around six sketches on how my advert could look
yet I went with a very basic design. Yet I used a creepy background to attract
attention to it. During my research I had found a page that explains the
essentials of a magazine advert so I used this as a helping hand. It told me to
use text that not only stood out from the background but out from the actual
picture. Hence why the white is still on the text.
Overall I learnt a variety of skills. Mainly using Photoshop
and learning from the basic, essential skills to being able to create my
magazine advert with some advanced tools which took time to learn how to do. I tended
to get stuck with some aspects though such as cloning however Owen managed to
get me round that issue. Mainly I understood what each tool does and how I can
use that in my final piece.
Furthermore I’d like to believe that my final piece came out
excellent, however some things may need changing. I could have used my own
image for my background in which I could have obtained some more credit. However
id say that my final piece was well structured and followed the exact guidelines
that Owen and Mark wanted. Additionally I spent ages trying to get the text to
the right size so that did take up time when cropping some other things. If I was
to do this again I may attempt to try and develop my designs more so that they
are more specific.
