Harry wrote articles in Word and laid them out in a double page spread in Photoshop with columns. He edited the articles by removing unnecessary information and adding more important details. He created a front cover template in Photoshop and took a photo of his car to use, editing the image by removing marks and changing the license plate. He continued working on the front cover by adding text in different fonts and sizes before standardizing the formatting. Harry also redesigned the double page layout to include more images and rearranged the content.

Production Reflection Harry
Process Day 1 I finished writing my articles in word. Tomorrow I will copy and paste them to my double page spread and put them in the right columns.
Process Day 2 I started making my double page spread and laid it out with columns. Then copied my articles into them. I touched some of my articles up by taking out unnecessary information and adding more important bits in. I made the article titles bold and italic I made my front cover template in Photoshop so I was prepared to start my front cover the next day.
Process Day 3 I started making my front cover. I went to the car park and took a photo of my car using my phone. I put the image into Photoshop and used the spot removal tool to remove any unneccessary marks, which made it look clean and professional. I edited the number plate by copying the straight line of the J to make it a U, and to make the C’s into O’s. I used the burn tool to get rid of any sharp edges and make the curves
Process Day 4 I continued making my front cover. I made the masthead and one cover line using fonts which I downloaded from da font. I used Photoshop fonts to create the rest of the cover lines. So far I think it looks shocking because there are too many font colours making it inconsistant. Also, the font sizes are different because I wanted to fill spaces on the page. I will reduce them all to the same size to make it consistent.
Process Day 5 I deleted all the cover lines and re-wrote them. I merged two cover lines into one so it didn’t take too much space, making the image clearer to see as well. I made the font sizes and colours the same so there’s more consistency. I decided not to use the Bevel and Emboss tool because I thought it would make the text too bold. This makes the front cover look better because it doesn’t look as busy.
Process Day 5 I decided to change the layout of my Double page spread because there were too many columns and the images would have needed to be small to fit in them. The new layout looks a lot better and a lot more organised. It looks bigger than the original layout and there’s more room to put images in.
Process Day 6 I used the internet to find images of different first buyer cars. I put them into Photoshop and set them out evenly between each other. I tried using the magic wand and polygon lassoo to get rid of any backgrounds, but both didn’t work. I tried changing the background colour, but the colour changed between each image, which I didn’t want to happen. I screenshot this and put it into my double page. I wrote the name of each car underneath the image so the reader knows what the car make/model is.
Process Day 7 I added some background colour to make the double page stand out and draw in the reader’s attention. I had an issue where one colour overlaps with another, which made it look odd. I deleted the green box so the whole section was orange. I re-arranged some of the text to put it in a sensible order. I made a second double page spread and moved one of the articles into it, so I can fit more images into both pages.
Process Day 8 I decided to make a second double page about useful breakdown equipment. This was so I could fit more images onto both pages. I went on the internet to find different useful equipment. I put them into Photoshop and cut round the backgrounds using the magic wand and polygon lasso. Then I used the pen tool to create a shape and put the text in, which I copied and pasted from the first double page. I resized the text so it would fit around the images. Finally, I changed the background colour to orange which makes the images and text stand out.
Process Day 8 I decided to add a list of comparison websites to the insurance article. I deleted the green colour because it made the page look odd. Then I moved the text lower so I could fit a title across the top of each page. I stretched all the colours so it filled the white gap between the pages because it looked odd with the ‘O’ in the title against two colours.
