In Design - First Attempt

I found that In Design was hard to operate. It was difficult to make sure that all od my text and images were axactly the way I wanted them to be. I found that when I put some parts of the text into a different colour, the colouring that I had used then went lighter after and gave a more faded effect than I wanted. Putting the text into the text boxes was easier than I had expected as there was a small tool that I could use to make sure that the text I had been unable to fit in one text box, could go into the other text boxes that I created. The images that I was using were harder to place that I thought the would be as I had to draw the box that I wanted them to be in, go to file and place the image I wanted and then I had to go through the different fittings that I wanted my image to be. I assumed that it would be much simpler to control than it was.

Photoshop-Heal tool and Vampire creator

For the 'vampire tutorial' I learned how to use to magnetic lasso tool in order to be able to change the colour of the eyes, as well as to be able to give a sort of cat eye effect. I also used this tool to create the fangs from the teeth. I found this was difficult to try and maintain the same length on both sides and to make sure that I didn't make them look too false. I also found how to use the Sponge tool to try and take the colour away from the persons face. I found that this was also hard to control as I had to get the full of the face without making some areas darker than others. I struggled with this and missed a few parts and went darker on the other parts, giving an uneven spread.

For the spot removal tutorial I found that it was easier to do than the vampire tutorial. I only needed to use the heal tool, however, it was different to make sure that I didn't make it look too blotchy and obvious. I feel on some parts that it went well, but there are some parts of the image where I have not done it so well and it is a lot lighter and more obvious than it should have been.
