Adobe InDesign CS5- Final design

After looking at what people had to say about the First draft which was incomplete, we had taken all the feedback into consideration and have come up with the final product which is partly shown in the screen grab. I think personally that this Magazine meets the conventions of an actual soap Magazine front cover, this is mainly due to because of the feedback that we had received and also looking a Soap magazine has helped us to see the different conventions used.

Adobe InDesign CS5- Creating the Magazine Front Cover

This is a screen grab of our Magazine and the process of creating it. We will now show this to the audience so that they can give us Initial feedback on what improvements and things that they may want to see on this magazine. In order for us to create this Magazine we had a look at an official Soap magazine so that we can get a rough idea of the conventions and layout that is used. Above in the screen grab shows the start that we have made for our Magazine, there will be great changes after the feedback has been taken into consideration.

Week 8 of filming and editing:

This week we finished edited our final soap trailer as we edited all the new scenes and added them as a replacement for the scenes we cut out.We shortened the driving car scene, took out some of the meeting and greeting scenes and added more scenes that show the contrast between the the two sides of Kareem's personality and lifestyle using split scenes of juxtaposing behaviour like praying and selling drugs. We also added a voiceover so we can have Kareem's view as he doesn't speak much and the soap is set from his perspective therfore it would make more sense for the main character to give his point of view. We also added call of prayer at the beginning of the soap when Kareem is praying to give that spiritual feel. We also uploaded it on to blogspot.

PhotoShop Screen Shot - Draft 1 Poster

This is a draft of one of the 3 posters we produced, we really started experimenting with the filters on Photoshop to shape our image, this didn't really work although it was an effective image, with a typical london underground tube station in the back with 'Kareem' looking at 'Sykez' in a negative way with 'Sykez' giving an evil look straight to the camera lense. As we produced 3 posters another reason why this didn't work is because Kareem is the main objective in the Soap and in this image he's the background.

PhotoShop Screen Shot - Final Poster

 

 We used Photoshop, some of the key things we used to present our poster was a landscape image of London with Kareem still being the main focus, adding texts that gave a clue about what our soap was about, for example our font for Kareem having that arabic edge to it, giving the audience a clear insight of where and when it will be shown with our brand identity in the corner representing us as a whole. We used a number of layers and experimented with textures, font, contrast and brightness until we got our final result.

Poster Draft 1

This is another poster we created on Photoshop, however we didn't feel as though it worked as much as our main one. The main character is not in focus and the way it is structured doesn't work well. However it does have an urban theme to it.

The Process of creating our Channel Ident

We uploaded our channel ident onto photoshop and altered it from there. We changed the font of the text and enhanced the black colour to make it stand out. We went over the crack and changed the background to make the TV logo appear more 3D.
