Ouestions and Answers =)
3. a) What qualities of your magazine cover make it effective? (e.g. What makes it eye catching?, What about it promotes curiosity?, How is it visually pleasing?, What makes it easy to understand?)
The things that make my magazine cover effective is the layout of it, colour, text, and space. I made sure that the layout wasn’t full of too much text and that it didn’t look too clustered. The colours also made my magazine cover effective because i kept two or three colours the same. ever colour makes the text visible to stand out clearly. By the layout, colour, text, and space I have made my magazine cover look professional and attractive.
b) What was the order of hierarchy you were trying to achieve for the elements on your magazine cover?
The order of hierarchy I was trying to achieve was:
1) Seventeen My title/main picture
2)695 Ways to Look Pretty, Free Body Lotion, and Special Hot Style!
3)Original picture of Rihanna =)
Original Pictures =)
As my background i used a plain white background.
Class Task #4- Understanding Resolution
Questions and Answers =)
1. Will a 300 dpi image or a 72 dpi image be clearer when printed out at the same size? How come?
Yes, a 300 dpi image or a 72 dpi image would be clearer when printed out at the same size because you will be able to notice the details in the image. For example, if you were to print out a 72 dpi image it wouldn’t be clearer because it would be to small and you won’t be able to notice a lot of the details in the image. As a result the image would be blurry.
2. What would a picture created at 1 dpi look like?
A picture created at 1 dpi would look like something really small becuase it would be really small. You wouldn’t be able to see or notice anything in the picture because it’s not big enough to see anything.
Class Task- #3-The Selection Tools
Combination of the Lasso and the Erase Tool =)
Lasso Tool =)
Wand Tool =)
Questions and Answers =)
1. The combination of tools that i used to isolate the fruit in “fruit_combo.jpg was the magnetic lasso and the eraser. I used the magnetic lasso tool to trace or go over my picture so that way I can get rid of the background image. I used the eraser tool to even out the edges from the fruit bowl, and to remove the extra detail which was around the fruit bowl.
2. Out of the 3 methods I used to isolate the 3 images, I found that the magnetic lasso tool was the most effective for this case because I was able to isolate the image much faster.
3. a) For this particular part, the image starts to become smaller or bigger according to the size of the pixel.
b) For this particular part, the image starts to become bigger or smaller according to the size of the pixel.
c) For this particular part, the image tends to become flowing and gives off a white glow in order to hide specific egdes and blend everything together.
