Advert Template, Final and Evaluation

In today's lesson we had to produce a paper copy of our magazine advert and a final Photoshop version, similar to the paper copy we produced. I believe my paper copy is very basic copy as compared to my final advert, that I produced on Photoshop.

I produced an advert for an energy drink on Photoshop for my final Graphics piece. To produce my Photoshop image I briefly thought of how most magazine adverts are presented today, I researched the dimensions/measurements of a magazine page so that I could produce my advert correctly. I also researched what a lot of magazine adverts contain, this allowed me to produce my advert more effectively in the long run. To produce my adverts I used Photoshop skills I already knew, I also learned how to use the Magic Wand before making my advert. This tool allowed me to remove the background from my text. When producing my advert I also used another Adobe program to produce the star shape in the middle of my advert, this program was Illustrator.

I feel that my final piece went well, although it did not resemble any of my drawn pieces I was still proud of what I produced as final. The are only a few things about my final piece that I do not like such as the £1 sign.

If I were to produce this advert again I would take more time into researching Photoshop tools and I would practice using them. This is so I could edit the advert a lot better and produce a more detailed and better final piece.
