Trial Animation 2


This is another trial animation I created using Photoshop and MovieMaker.
To create this, I first of all got a picture of a map from Google images; when I first got the map, it was covered in names of the different states and not as vibrantly coloured. I proceeded to colour in the names of the states so that they blended in with the background colours; I achieved this by using the 'Eyedropper' tool - which picks up the colour you are selecting and puts it into the colour's pallette - and using the 'Brush' tool to colour over the names of the states.
After this, I went back onto Google images, found a picture of a cartoon plane, and pasted it into photoshop. Using the 'Polygon Lasso Tool', I cut around the outside of the plane and removed the background. Then, I pasted it into Photoshop, and gradually moved it across the page, saving the image each time the plane moved.
Finally, when the plane was near where 'Hollywood' was supposed to be, I downloaded a 'Hollywood' font and wrote it's name on the page, making sure it stood out. I also added a star for where the plane would stop, symbolizing the high quality of life and glamour in Hollywood and upped the Saturation of the overall image, so that it looked more vibrant and lively.

Magazine Cover Ideas


This front cover is quite simple, as it just has the middle picture placed basically in the middle and then the other parts of what's inside and the title across the top. But, when put altogether, I may add some bits and pieces over the main image, like games and gossip, so that it would make it look more exciting.



Although this template is quite simple too, I prefer it to the other one as I think I can make it look more exciting. I would place the title of the show at the top, and beneath it there would be the main image with text and a subtitle. Also, then around the outside of the image, I would put bits and pieces of what would be inside the magazine; games, gossip, magazines and etc.
