Insight to photoshop

In today's lesson we had an insight to PhotoShop.
I had demo showing me how to use the programme; I was taught how to edit and insert text as well as insert images. I learnt how to:

•  add background colours
•  text sizes and fonts 
• placing in images

When adding in my image of The Weeknd (Abel) I was shown how to maintain the images shape but make the image bigger or smaller. This is done by holding the 'Shift' button and dragging the points on the image.

My first document on PhotoShop is the one pictured below and basic tools have been used. I feel as though I will be able to get the hang of Adobe PhotoShop however it may take me some time to get used to.

Magazine analysis

In Task 2 I have analysed a 'Vibe' magazine; my analysation has described the magazine thoroughly. I have analysed NickiMinaj and how she is presented on the magazine as well as the other artists presented. 

 The masthead is behind the model and she covers most of it, this shows that Vibe is a very well known company. The colour scheme is all coordinated to orange and white and important text is in bold black writing; this is a way to make the audience interested. Important text such as 'Drake' and 'Shaq'. Other artists who are featured inside the magazine are also famous and will attract people who do not necessarily like Hip Hop to show some sort of interest in to purchasing the magazine again. this will also make them more attracted to buy the magazine.

The magazine is most likely directed at young people who are interested in Hip Hop.
