Photoshop Competition

Now could be a good time to brush up on your photoshop skills. Adobe are offering a 7 day free trial at the moment. After this its £16 a month for Creative Suite for students.

There are lots of You tube tutorials that you could follow to create some interesting designs.

A bit of fun, why not Photoshop you and your friends into a location you would really like to be in right now or you could transpose your face into a film poster or onto one of our set texts?

You could mock up a new Quality Street advert, a Bond poster, you could be on the front of GQ magazine (GCSE texts) The Big Issue or in a Lucozade Ad, the front cover of the The Guardian or The Daily Mail could be your destination (A level texts).

The only restriction is your imagination!

Send me your finished designs by 4th May (may the 4th be with you....)

5 lessons and homework from 23rd March - Easter

You should have 5 lessons and 3 homeworks between now and the Easter holiday so you should be looking to spend around 8 hours on the following tasks. Remember you have been emailed two powerpoints to support you in this. 'The coursework guide 21' that gives further detail and provides examples and your coursework template 'NEA 21 student copy'. Remember all tasks that you complete should be added to your powerpoint and emailed to the NEA email- not my email address. Any specific questions or queries email me directly.

I will be online at that time too so can answer any questions in real time. Lesson 1: Read over the choice of briefs again. Decide which one you think you would like to create. Read pages 187-194 of the text book. Remember you we...

Work for fortnight 4th May due in 18th May

4 things to do this fortnight 1. Summary of codes and conventions. Think about what you identified in your textual analyses, 1,2 and 3. What conventions did you identify and what will you want to use in your product? eg a print magazine has a large masthead. An online magazine uses a consistent colour scheme to create brand identity. Bullet points of what you have found out and which conventions you are going to copy. What brand identity/house style will you adopt? 2. Audience Profile This will look like a fact file on an ideal reader who will have a 'preferred reading' (Stuart Hall) of your product. I have given you the NME one as an example but remember this is professional, I am not expecting yours to be of this standard. You can look at the advertising pages on existing magazines to find their examples of audience or reader profiles, have a look here for instance at the kind of information they find out about their readers. You don't have to be this detailed h...
