Evaluation

So now i have done the front cover its all done and finished so i can put my feet up and just do this evaluation of what i have done.
For my first attempt at photoshop , i took a image which i took in a other area with a fellow student of the class , Jenna. i took that image and put it onto my design idea on photoshop, from the original picture i applyed a title for the magazine and i changed the writing from the normal black to a vibrant red that stands out on the page. i also added other writing onto the page and changed the writing from the plain black to a much more vibrant and outstanding purple , this goes well with the back ground   that is the picture i have already taken.
after i had completed this project i have noted that i need to be more confident with photoshop, maybe i should ask for some tuition for future reference.
i think that for my first attempt with using photoshop its not to bad it didnt turn out like anything i wanted to but i guess that is all the part of learning how to get better.
the image i took was not that good so it looks like i have to improve my photography skills and my photoshop skills.
i know i wont get a decent grade for this , its the start of a new subject , so hopefully in the future i should improve a lot more than how it is.
the contents page that i did and i have put up  i belive is a lot better than the original draft the writing is more suited to the target audiance , it actually looks like someone has put some effort in with it instead of the what it could of been if i had left it as it was.
i know for my next project i have got a lot of work to do but i am sure that if i keep motivated and just ask for the help instead of just sitting there waiting for someone to help me i will get through it easier.
After much time and work i can finally upload a final front cover that i can happily say is the one i am using as my final image , its a lot better than the original image and it shows the improvement from when i started to what i made it into from just a portion of the skills that i have learned so far

My First Design

There is on my first draft
The Main Image:  for the main article i want it to be of my friend standing near the work bench in the photgraphy store holding a camara leaning over the workbench smiling,because i am not very artistic i drew a simple stick man figure to represent who will be there for my main article

Mast Head: for my main one i will make sure that it is bold and stands out next to the image, i want to make sure that it is a neutral colour and does not clash with any other parts of the article.

there are two main parts i have put the most effort into , these are the two parts i have understood the most ,
