I  used illustrator  for the cover page and it took a long time for correction even with stylu. Dealing with multiple layers made it complicated layers
 Illustrator cover issue text was color yellow and orange because it was written in line with the magazine font color

 Illustrator cover volume was color blue white because the colors went well with the water the sky and the buildings


First Illustrator, then transferred to Photoshop to create soft light, blur, layering and stylizing effects for post processing to make the cover look more polished. 


In this blog I am going to cover various aspects of my magazine preparation. I took photographs in different light setting, each catering to a different background or environment,

Illustrator has been a software that I have been exploring and getting quite comfortable with  especially with my laptop at home which is equipped with a stylus !  With the help of the brush tool and the zoom tool i have been able to create a sense of detail in digital drawings. This helped in my cover page design. Additionally when speaking in terms of drawing I had illustrated a few of my content page titles using markers.  Along with photos from earlier these were edited on Photoshop using tools that have aspects of blurring, filtering and brightness and shadow enabling me to freely play around with the depth that is conveyed in the results. Any cutouts I make can be made smoothed out with the blur tool and using the brightness /contrast feature the background white can be deleted.

In-design is a text based format software and as the name suggests we design the layouts of the magazine pages placing the different images edited in Photoshop and fitting the text around it. It also helps us control the spacing between the texts along with normal features that include sizing, positioning and color.



This QR code was generated to make the magazine feel more authentic and scanning the code with a device takes you to my blog page. 
 Lighting  effects and cutting out the art work in Photoshop using lasso tool.
Using filters and blurs, to made the cutting seem less jarring. 

 In my first attempt I used the magnetic lasso tool, then lasso tool with stylus in my home computer.

 The art work was done in paper photographed and then edited in Photoshop before being uploaded








I cut and brought in text, art and pictures. There was no picture for the Big bang as it was not something that I could photograph. I used lighting effects and placed a yellow background behind te art work for the contents page.
The Stylus was used for writing CONTENTS in the contents page. For the contents page I first used In-design first then Photoshop as I had no access to the data in my school as they were shut.

Ryo Onishi :The animator who can bring life to the characters

I feel that I should have talked about him earlier!!! My favorite animator in Dragon ball Super : Broly , Ryo Onishi! He has animating skills which bring about animation which is very fluid,which goes well with the simplistic character designs of the main character designer Naohiro Shintani.Goku doing the his warm-up in the teaser trailer is the best example ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1rECVSJfQA ) CHARACTER DESIGN ), but  Goku eating doesn't fall short either(pic 1).The only jarring shot compared to other shots was Goku"s first clash with Broly (pic 2).He and Naotoshi Shida bring about the main fluid moments in the movie!!! PICTURE 1 PICTURE 2 I feel the success of the film was the director, animators and producers working in sync as well as the good schedule and budget which attracted even many freelance animators.The animator's work as well as the new line filter technology introduced at Toei animation helped bring the reall

UNREAL-BUT-REAL-MAGAZINE-SUBMISSION

My online magazine targets children above 10 years who have love for science and experimenting as I always did. The magazine will raise the curiosity of the reader and will also promote Science as a fun activity. My cover page idea is based on a thought I had "flight into the never before seen skies even past the clouds", this idea has the clouds as obstacles and the young boy getting through them with ease. The contents page's artwork came to be when this idea created another topic to work on " Onward to space!!" which is why I drew children riding on a Rocket to space. These thoughts and their respective illustrations symbolize the infinite possibilities that lie in science, and that it can be a very enjoyable journey if taken with the right approach. The Double Spread has a background of large water bubbles symbolizing infinite possibilities, and as the experiment is to do with water I felt this to be apt. The photos I have click

Sound editing, so how was it for me ?

I started with writing a story, that had elements that I could easily find as clips from YouTube. The story goes like this:"It is heavily raining along with lighting and thunder. During this rain a man is walking and sees a cat and attempts to shelter it until the rain stops. Birds start to chirp and crickets sing bringing the morning. The rooster roosts to wake every soul up as if it was declaring that everything is safe and the rain had stopped, signaling to everyone that they can come out of their shelters. Then the man walks to his farm where we can clearly hear the rooster after which we hear the cows and goats " The editing process was completely new to me and I had to go through trial and error and refer to tutorials which were of only five minutes length to ensure that I wasn't wasting my time.So I picked up on the things I had to do and with a few attempts I managed  to complete the project. I then asked my mom to listen to the clip. She said there was a
