Final Product Development

This is the final version of my front cover what i have learnt while doing this is how to do button sells and the ellipsis tool, I also learnt how to install fonts that can be seen on my front cover. If i was going to redo this i would make sure i had edited the background out of the image do that the blacks aren't different colours.

This is the final version of my DPS and what i had gained from this was the ability to wrap text around other text so I can single out important pieces of information. If I was going to redo this piece of work i would have added more facts to my timeline at the bottom and had it in a more chronological order.

Project monitoring 2

After a week of editing my DPS, I have added the photos to it and completely arranged where everything is going to be and leaving space for my chart at the bottom when I have finished it. I have also edited the photos in photoshop to brighten my models face up on the shot where he is meant to look happy and added a bit of colour to his face and also began to make the text wrap around the images.

these are the contact sheets for my photoshoot, where i planned to use narrow lighting, at first the lighting in my first few were too dark, so i tested with different angles on the shots and lighting amounts to make sure that it is of the light i wanted. Another problem I had with my photoshoot was the I had to get some of my images outside as they wouldn't have given the desired effect in the studio.

finally my front cover has furthered a lot i have added my images to my front cover and added more of my sell lines to my product including ellipsis and

exclusive sell lines. I have also added my sell lines to my header and kicker.
