I think this week i have been successful in what i aimed to do because since last week i have created my DPS 2 layout and chosen the images i want to use to start making the basic layout which i set out to do. 











I also have completed the task of inserting my article space and i have now put my article in the designated spaces and my DPS is now starting to take shape.









This is how my DPS currently looks at the moment , using a summer lift article from Red magazine to inspire my look for my article.x


This week i haven't been able to concentrate fully on my DPS 2 because i had to take and edit my pictures for my front cover because the images i was going to use from the grunge didn't fit my front cover. So this week as well as my creating of my DPS 2 i have had to start choosing my images , editing them and checking that they fit. I have had a little issue with this because the images i chose and edited didn't look right on my front cover and i couldn't decided how i wanted them. 

I have changed the image from being in colour to black and white and now chosen another image completely which now needs to be edited and finished to insert into my product which could cause me to over run a little on tasks set for next week.













 This week i have learnt new ways to edit pictures on photoshop and what effects colours and levels have on creating a look to the image. I like my photographs which i have taken i just wished that i remembered to take more portrait for my front cover. The ones i took in portrait i didnt like and this is why i had to try and create a front cover image out of a landscape image which doesnt look as good.

 i think my client would be impressed in the way i have handled my week i have managed to meet my deadlines which i intended to do but they may be unimpressed at my editing skills and photography choices because this is ultimately what has delayed me this week in making any more progress with my front cover and could cause me to over run onto next weeks tasks.
