Christmas album

CD album 

I opened a document on Photoshop and changed the resolution to 300 pixels/inch I also changed the height to 5cm and the width to 5cm. I then went on to www.brusheezy.com and typed in christmas and christmas tree's and then once I found ones I liked I clicked on download, open, extract files, and then saved them to my network documents into the 'Brushes' folder that I had created before hand. By creating a separate folder for my brushes so that it was easier for my to access them and find them quicker. After I had downloaded the tools I wanted I went back onto photo shop and clicked on the brush tool and clicked on the arrow next to the brush and then clicked on the arrow next to the maser Diameter and then selected load brushes. Once I had selected the brush tool It tok me to the brush palette and my brushes where at the bottom of the list, once I had chosen them I changed the colour of them by clicking the square colour picker.

After all of this I then changed the background of the CD album to a light grey and wrote the title 'Christmas Album' which I had chosen and downloaded the font from website dafont.com

Header ideas for my magazine on Photoshop

Header ideas for my magazine. 

When designing my Masthead on photo shop I had to firstly create my page which was 300 pixels per inch, 21 in width and 29 in height. After this I went on to Dafont.com and chosen a font which was Serif font because my article is serious so I need my audience to understand the seriousness, and I want the font to look girly and make the audience not think my article is very important. After this I then clicked onto select, load selection, modify, expand, and then I was able to change the font size I wanted and how bold and large I wanted to make it.
If I made a mistake I knew that I could press command and hold the letter z down to go back. Once I had done this I then clicked on to the the Fx tool which enabled me to give my title a more glossy look and a two tone colour effect.
After all of this I then changed the colour of it so I has a choice of things that I could chose from.
