Today in my media studies lesson i learnt how to make a website using weebly.com. i
inserted pages and designed it, I changed the use of text used . I also learnt how to make a drop down menu which helps my website look more professional. by this i have learnt to work more independently and figure many things out myself. i know i am going to need to this throughout my AS media course because i have noticed that my teacher likes the class to be more independent in our learning. before this lesson i only had a little idea on how effective and hard it was to make a website, i have now experienced this progress.

Induction Period
As i have been going through the first few weeks of the media course I learned a lot of new skills. I have learned how to analysis magazine front covers in fine detail and also learned how to create my own college magazine . I did know the basics of Photoshop. I also learned the importance of saving posters in JPEG form, which basically flattens the image and reduces the file size.
Also while learning how to analyse front covers, dps and contents pages i noticed that it helps me pick out discrete information that connotes feeling, setting and NVC's.
All these skills helped me create the website you're seeing today.

As I have now created my own college magazine, now i have created a contents page and a front cover for a magazine i am now used to Photoshop and i know many skills that are hidden, for example adding effects on my text.
Real Media Text - Skills Development
In the RMT I have been able to develop many of my skills that i had before I started my AS Media course. I found out how to use the grids on Photoshop to make sure my designs and text in my convention diagrams were aligned well which made the diagrams look neat and professional. I also made a numerous amount of textual analysis' based on both Rap/Hip-Hop front page magazines, contents pages and double page spreads. This gave me an idea of what most Hip-Hop and Rap magazine contents and front pages always include.

19th November
As well as this, for the task I had to confirm the name of my magazine as in the previous tasks I always used a draft idea, I eventually chose the name T'HUNNA. This will good to me when I am making my music magazine as i would already know what name is going to be on my front page and i would also be able to use the diagrams to help construct it without any problems i may have.

03/12/2012) Skills I've learnt
Today i began to independently draft my double page spreadsheet temples for my music magazine and uploaded it on mocks ups .
Whilst doing this i developed some of my Photoshop skills, for example i learnt how to use the grid and ruler
tools to help me make my work as accurate as possible. although i was unable to come up with any layout design
i looked at some examples and played around with Photoshop. i did'nt really spend as much work on this as it was just a simple diagram laying out the convention.
