Newspaper advert production

This is the original picture of the coin







This is the original picture of the cow















I used the Magic Pencil Tool on Photoshop, to cut out only his head




I also used the Magic Pencil Tool, to cut out around the pound coin


I took the original picture off the coin by using the Clone Stamp Tool and painting over the design

As the painting was taking a while to do, once I had done a fair amount of cloning, I used the Lasso Tool, to select a particular part of the clone.


I then copied the part that I selected and pasted it several times until it filled the whole coin and then looked like this.













Once I had imported the cow onto the coin, I used the Elliptical Marqee Tool to put a circle around the coin, just to remove the rough edges and make it look more smooth.

However, I cut off some of the cow's ear whilst using the Magic Pencil Tool, so I had to start again...


















This is what the coin looked like, once I imported the improved cow's head












The coin still didn't look real, so I had to emboss the cow layer. However the Emboss tool made the head look silver, so I made an extra layer, and made it a transparent gold colour, to blend in the colour of the cow into the gold coin.























This was the original layout of the print advert, however leaving the background white didn't follow the codes and conventions of a BBC1 newspaper advert.













We liked this layout, but we didn't like the gold boxes around the text, as it took the attention away from the image




I tried different layouts for the print advert...









































































Until the group finally agreed on the best and final print advert...

Recording and editng radio trailer


To import the footage from our documentary, I had to go into 'file', 'import' and then select the audio files.

To cut the audio files, I used the Mark In and Mark Out tools, to get the correct footage as in our order list.

To change the volume on each audio file, I used the Add Remove Keyframe to alter the volume.


To cut out parts of the song, I used the razor tool and deleted the unwanted parts.









To shorten any audio files on the timeline, I used the mouse to scroll over the part I didn't want.
