Evaluation
Working in a group of four people meant that we could split all the work into four so everyone in the group had a chance to perfect their own piece of work which was an disadvantage because then we weren't in a rush trying to do to an entire magazine on our own. The strengths that i faced working as a group was the fact that I could talk to other people in group and we could help one another if we were stuck. The good thing about working in a group is that because there was a lot of work, no one had nothing to do everyone was busy doing something or working on their own work. Also everyone in the group had an interest in magazines so it was a task that we could all do because it is our interest.
Most of the people in the group knew how to use photoshop very well this helped when someone in the group needed help on a specific thing that they needed to do. working as part of a team we could always contribute ideas that we wanted to use this was a way of how we could make things better when creating the magazine. On the other hand we did face a lot of weaknesses in the group this was caused by the lack of communication and some of the written work had to be done by other group members and not done by everyone because of the deadline some of the other group members were behind with their work so everyone wasn't working at the same pace as each other. The advantage of working in the group is that two people would work together and the other two people would work on another piece of work we all didnt work together to produce all of the work as there division within the group Emilia who worked on the interview page, Georgia worked on the ho wore it best and together they both did the front cover, ´ma worked on the problems page and i worked on the gossip page together we came up with ideas for the contents page and Emma did the contents page this was what caused the division because each member in the group worked at their own pace. On my own i worked very well because i enjoyed discovering how to do things on my own and finding out new ways of creating curtain things on photoshop i loved creating the gossip page and using my ideas to put everything in place and where it should be. In the group we faced so many challenges but we all forgave each other for not working stronger as the four of us should have.
The weakness that i faced working independently is because everyone was so busy doing their work i couldn't ask for help if i needed help or other ideas of what i could have done to perfect because the other girls in the group had to do their own work. I found it difficult to keep up with the time set when doing my gossip page because by the time i had gotten all my ideas i didn't have a lot of time left. working as a group i was so nervous because i wanted everything to look perfect i was a bit shy telling the people in my group how we could have improved on our group work as there was a lack of communication skills i didn't want to disturb everyone else in the group , I am a slow worker so i had the weakness of being scared of the deadline.
My strengths when creating the gossip page is that when i got all my ideas and started working i was determined to make my work perfect at a higher level and add things that can make it look better. My other strengths is that i loved learning new things and how to create different things from photoshop i had an open mind i was very persistent even when i didn't know what to do i had a picture of what my work would look like before finishing it. I had that consistency of
wanting my work to look perfect even if it meant me working on the same thing for a really long
time putting all my energy into doing my work and shutting out everyone around me just to focus. the next time i work i need to learn how to work faster as well as making sure that my work is done perfectly. overall working in a group and independently i faced challenges when doing my work however it has made me develop other skills that i can use next time.
The product I decided to do is the Gossip page which talks about the latest news on celebrities to do this i had to use photoshop to create the page i researched other music magazines and put all my ideas together used photos from the internet of the celebrities. i made a rough sketch plan on what i wanted my work to look like. with the research that i had done i slowly started putting all of the information onto photoshop. i used font from the internet in Dafont to make the writing on my gossip page more interesting and stand out from all the other information. I used this for the headline. I did face difficulty picking the right colour of the background that would match the writing and the images. To make my page more focused i put in grid lines this made creating everything and putting them into place because of the barrier line. After doing my work i had to edit it and fix all the mistakes that i made. When doing my work i made a mistake when expanding all the pictures so i had to go back and make them look like they have not been too stretched out. The next time i do this product i would have some of the skills to make an even better gossip page.
The techniques that i used when creating the gossip page is when i cropped down some of the images that i used from the internet i took out the bit that i didn't need to use. i also the marquee tool, then the layer via cut which i used to split one of my image in half, i also used certain fonts to make the writing stand out. I wasn't so sure on the colour scheme because i wanted the work to stand out from everything else. If i were to do this again i would plan all the details including what colours i wanted and which type of pictures that i want to use from the internet also better ways to crop and use more photoshop shortcuts.
overall the skills that i used helped me produce the gossip page it has made learn new ways of doing things when using photoshop. to improve my work next time i can make sure that i spend more time trying to speed the progress in which i take to do my work.
