we first took some cameras and went around the college trying to find objects that looked like letters we then downloaded them on to memory sticks. later in the day. we hand did typographey 


We also used the lines to help structure the size and style of the typography. We also had to chose a style to base are typography off for example bubble writing. I chose to base my typography of bubble writing as i don't have much skill with hand drawn letters or anything hand drawn. 




We later used the images we took to create a mock magazine cover. Using in design which is a software made by adobe graphic designers use this software when creating the covers and pages in the magazine. Alan also taught us to use illustrator and the pen and pencil tool to create typography as well as changing the style of the pen and pencil tool.


Alan told us that we could start doing this in our own course to help find other ways in which we can edit our images as well as different ways of using typography in our presentation and even maybe doing some hand drawn text over the top. This could help us in creating our own presentation.

we also learnt about how the way you lay out the cover is important such as if there is a large border it is normally associated with high quietly because you are wasting paper.
we began by learning to trace our typography using the pen tool as well as the pencil tool.
we also experimented with the pencil tool to create free hand typography by changing the style and size of tool.
We also used the the blob brush tool which created a smooth shapes and letters

Stephan's Lesson

In steve's lesson we learnt about the anatomy of the camera and how the light travels though the camera . The light enters the camera though the lenses then goes though the aperture which controls how much light can enter the camera, It then goes to the mirrior which is reflected up into a prism that reflects the light though the view finder which allows us to see what the camera is pointed at. When the shutter realise button is pressed the mirror flips out off the way allowing the light to go though the shutter and hit the light sensitive chip. Which is what creates the image both the shutter speed and the aperture can both be adjusted to change the amount of light that enters the camera. We also took photos experimenting with the shutter speed and aperture and how they work together to get the best expouser possible .For example if there is a wide aperture the camera will use a faster shutter speed to make sure that it is not over exposed making the image to bright. It is the...
