HOW I MADE MY ADVERT (Part of EVALUATION Q3)

• How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

This is how i used parts of media technology(quark and photoshop) in the construction of my advert.


 HOW I MADE MY ADVERT

I went back into quark then clicked on file, open, project.

I then selected the size of the page i wanted for my Advert.

I selected the picture box tool and drew out a picture box to fit the A5 page. I selected file import and chose my background that I had previously made for my didgipak in Photoshop.

Result.

I selected the picture box tool again, drew out a picture box tool and imported my desired image. I wanted an obvious link between my Digipak and advert so I chose to put the image I had put on my CD of Keith Tyler's profile shot. 

Result

I went back into Photoshop to design my text. I opened a new file with a transparent background.

I selected the text tool, then selected the type of font I wanted .

I then selected the colour I wanted my text to be.

Then selected my font size.

I selected the crop tool and cropped my text. This is what I was left with.

I opened up the image of Keith Tyler's profile shot to use as a template. I selected the paint bucket tool and  picked up the colour blue from the image by clicking on it.

But before I could fill in the text with the colour,  I had to change the name of the text layer  to image layer. 

I then saved my work.

I repeated these steps for other texts I made in Photoshop for my advert. These are the finished products of texts I made in photoshop.

Went back into Quark

Selected the move tool drew the box and imported my new text .

Result

selected the move tool again and drew out a box and imported  my new text which I had previously made in Photoshop.

Then selected file, import then chose my text I had made in Photoshop.

While holding the shift key I dragged in the edges.

Here is what I was left with

I then selected the text tool drew a text box chose my font and font size then typed in the text box.

selected the picture box tool, drew a picture box

and imported the text i had previously made in Photoshop.

Result.

For the final part of my advert I went on the internet and saved the logos for HMV and i-Tunes to my desktop. I then drew  the picture box and imported them. I took a picture of my front cover from my digipak drew a picture box and imported it. I selected the text tool  drew out a text box, selected the font I wanted and typed. I chose to do this in Quark rather than Photoshop because I didn't want to fill my text with colour.
