Photoshop Evaluation

My finished Photoshop image looks like a plain ravens wood badge with the word 'RAVENS' written in the middle.  I like it as I found out how to use many different tools in photoshop like the filler tool and the spray paint tool.  I chose the colours black and green as they are the colours of the school and they also go well with my font colour. The main image in the picture was the shield in the background which I changed the colours in the corners to green and black to match the school colours, then I found an image of the words 'RAVENS' with an image of a raven bird inbetween some of the letters.

To make my image better I could of spent less time picking a shield to go in the background as that took me many lessons to chooses then I had very little time to finish the rest of my design. However as I took so long picking the shield I am very happy with it as I took a lot if time to carefully chose it.  I need to practise photoshop a lot more to get better at it. However overall I am happy with my design

Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop has a great tool called the paintbrush tool. You can use the paintbrush tool to add color to your image. The brush tool applies a continuous stream of color and stops applying paint as soon as you stop dragging your mouse. The paintbrush paints a line of any size. When you click on the paintbrush tool it opens a menu which includes the brush tool, the pencil tool and the color replacement tool.

Waterloo Road Case Study

the programme is broadcast on a thursday at 8pm. it is on at this time as many people are home from school and work so that they get more viewers. it is on, on a thursday as there is not many good things on, on a thursday whilst if they put it on, on a saturday or sunday they would get less viewers as more people are watching the X factor or britains got talent and many other shows. it is also shown at 8 as it is on before the UK watershed so they are allowed to include some strong language and sexual content but not to much.

Waterloo Road Case Study



The producer are try to appeal to a broader audience by showing different groups of people from the show. for example in this picture they show some people who are clever, some who are sporty, some who are naughty/bad.

Waterloo Road Case Study


This is the logo of Waterloo road. They used this picture as the logo of waterloo road as it is a bunch of school desks with pupils around it so that it represents that it is a programme about school. It also looks like it is graffiti. that represents that the pupils misbehave.
