Magzine Cover:
1) What qualities of your magazine cover make it effective?
I think my magazine’s cover is effective because the smooth lines in the background help direct the viewer’s eyes towards certain areas. My topic was about cars and the title clearly states and reflects on the main topic therefore making the magazine cover very easy to understand. It’s also very nice to look at. The smooth lines in the background and the shine on the cars bring out the details which make it realistic and take away the “Photoshop” look.
2) What was the order of hierarchy you were trying to achieve for the elements on your magazine cover?
The order of hierarchy that I tried to accomplish is:
1) Car title
2) Cars at the bottom
3) Super Ferrari
4) Free Poster
Understanding Resolution
1) Will a 300 dpi image or a 72 dpi image be clearer when printed out at the same size? How come?
I think it would be clearer even if u print out at the same size because even tough it’s the same size it still had more dpi which means it has more detail.
2) What would a picture created at 1 dpi look like?
A picture at 1 dpi would be extremely small and blurry. Even if you try to enlarge the picture you will not get any details. It would be impossible for a person to determine what the picture is about.
Slection Tools
1) What combination of tools did you use to isolate the fruit in “fruit_combo.jpg” and where in the image did you use which tool?
I used the combo of the wand tool and the lasso tool. I used the wand tool to take out most of the background in the original picture then I used the magnetic lasso tool to get the bits and pieces that the wand tool left behind.
2) Of the methods you used to isolate the fruit in the 3 pictures. Which method did you find most effective in this case?
I foun I found using the magnetic lasso tool the easiest because it’s very easy to handle this tool. In this picture the outlines were very easy to identify and that’s what makes this tool the easiest one for me.
3) Exp Experriment with the following.
Expand makes the selection larger. And contract makes the selection smaller. Feathering creates a faded illusion. It can round of the edges and makes the image look soft.
4) For the [magic wand] did you figure out what “contiguous” does?
Contiguous allows the magic wand to select more area and increase the tolerance.
