Week 3: Using Photoshop For My Mood Board

Photoshop Development

Today we learnt how to use Photoshop to add text to our mood boards which we scanned in. We were shown how to add the text to the mood board and shown how to add effects to these texts, such as shadow effects for the text, and you are able to adjust elements within the effects so that the title is exactly what you want it to look like. You are able to change the size of the text, the size of the shadow effect on the writing and colour of the text. We were adding text to our mood boards to annotate the images which we included and how they related to our film, as my theme is fashion I made a mood board with clothes and accessories on and with the colour scheme of blue's and green's and I then had to annotate around the images and explain why I chose these images for my mood  board.

I believe that text has a massive impact within DVD Menus, as the main title of the film on the main menu may become the 'signature' title for the film and this may be how the film is remembered by people. So therefore font has a high impact and brings the DVD menu together.

I believe that I now have a higher knowledge of photoshop and know the main elements which I will need in Photoshop to help me create my own DVD Menu. In now knowing these features and tools in Photoshop I feel more confident in using Photoshop as I now know how to edit images and add texts to images in Photoshop.

Overall, I am happy with the progress I have made in Photoshop, as I have used it in the past for other projects. I am also more confident in developing skills I have gained from other projects and with my new skills in Photoshop I am more confident in bringing my previous skills from Photoshop and my new skills together to make my DVD Menu.
