Guy Rutter Unit 3 Evaluation

  My strengths in making my magazine work, I enjoy a challenge because I like trying out thing I haven’t used before and I am good with digital media for example when I was putting pictures in photoshop I knew what to do. I am good at the organization of group members because I told Travis what we need for the magazine like page design and I have good ability to take orders because I listen to Travis when he suggested a page layout. I am honest , responsible, self-confident and polite to people and I took good photos for a car genre magazine and designing my own layout eventually. I am good at managing my time.Examples of this include making sure the spreads are work complete on time.The weaknesses are I am not ability to diffuse tension in-group. I found it difficult getting some good creative ideas and also at organizing the resources together. One way of creating ideas that I found helpful was looking a broad range of other peoples work for example magazines.

 I started researching the layout of car magazine double page spreads on the Internet and looking what images they used and the angle they used and the style of shots they used. I also looked at  what fonts they used and make sure they were well present . I started planning a layout of my magazine of a double spread of a car on a A4 paper. This helped me because I knew then how many images I needed and what of. I made sure mum’s car was clean and shiny and made sure there wasn’t any rubbish in the car for example crisp wrappers.I made sure the lighting was as good as possible to make the photos more

professional.I started designing my magazine on Photoshop and first I put the photos in place and then got the font I needed on dafont and got the information on Internet and out of a magazine and type about the car and get the colour was suited for a dark background.

 The techniques I used are stroke over writing I used this because it stand out and make my magazine look professional and another techniques I put the lines up the top and bottom to make my magazine look professional and another techniques to it my magazine more depth I added a background image to make my magazine more professional.I used columns for my text because It easy to read and convention of form which means all magazine are set out this way.

The legal and ethical issues are that by using my own images and text copyright is not an issue where as if I was to use images off the internet then I would had to seek the permission of the owner and probably have to pay them as well. The other problem I would've had if I had used professional images, my own images would have taken a long time to match the professional ones.This then would have affected the amount of time I had to do the production.

Legal and Ethical issues

Travis and Guy used different font which we downloaded of Dafont, but because we used it for work in school we didn't have to ask but in the real world we would have had to write a letter to the owner asking to use the font type.
      Travis used his own photos meaning he didn't have to ask to use photos but Guy used a photo but if the was in the real world not school he would of have to of ask the copyright person.

plan

The idea of this unit is to make a double page spread of a magazine the magazine will be about cars and will have a catchy name that goes with cars and motorsport.

I will work with Travis and we have both decided to do a motoring magazine Travis has chosen something he is interested in which is a double page spread on a step by step describing what has to be done to restore a junior special autograss car and Guy has chosen to do a double page spread on the specifications on a toyota GT86 the reason guy has chosen to do this is that his mum owns one

 we need computers and a camera to work on are double page spreads the camera to take the images and the computers to sort the layout and create two double page spreads that look professional and good, we will ask the teacher to use the camera out of school and make sure the classroom is ok to use at break and lunch so we can edit are magazine

we will be using two separate locations for a double page spreads travis will use his dads workshop and race track and guy would use his house due to his mums car being there doing this means that we will be able to uses our lesson time more constructively on editing and production of the double page spreads
