kyran improvements

To improve I would have used a better font to make it stand out and more recognisable as at the moment it is rather to plain. Also I would have made the fonts more colourful to also make it stand out and make it more recognisable.

What have I learnt so far?

What have I learnt so far?

As I took media at GCSE level I had already learnt most of the skills being used on this preliminary task such as the rule of thirds, horizon, lighting and keeping the frame tight. The adobe software is new to me as I have not had to use it before so editing the photos is all new to me and inserting words and images are also new to me. Also I have leant how to upload photos onto the web as well as my annotated work and descriptions. The apple Macs I have also worked with before but some of the software on there is new like adobe also using the finder on the Mac to organise work I have learnt to do properly.
