Discuss the equipment you will use to complete your final piece. This should include specific details of hardware (camera, lights etc) as well as software (Photoshop, InDesign) Photos / images should be used if possible.
Equipment There has been a lot of equipment – hardware and software – that I have been using to create for the final piece of my magazine. I started by taking the pictures using a cannon 550d to digitally take the images for my magazine – front cover, contents page and double page spread. When taking the images, I took them up against a white backdrop with the lighting set up to make the images easier to edit and remove the subject of the picture from the white background. The images will be edited using Adobe Photoshop CS6 where I remove the white background and then transfer them to the software I am using to create my magazine – In Design CS6. InDesign is easier to use when creating my magazine rather than Photoshop because the programme makes it easier for you to carry out tasks such as text wrapping and putting the text for an article into columns. Examples below of the progress I have made so far through the use of InDesign.
