In tutorial, i managed to finish off my poster advert for a magazine. Although it didn't turn out exactly how i wanted it to, it shows me my weaknesses and my talents when it comes to Photoshop. Due to me not using my own photography for the background and such, i could not find the right pictures of dripping blood to fully complete my advert. I will keep this in mind when it comes to me making more adverts that i should gather all the images i need before hand, using my own photography. I decided to do the advert portrait as it is a more common way to advertise this way due to magazines being portrait. This also makes it easier for the reader as they wont have to turn the magazine to see the advert.
What I think went well and what didn't
What i think personally went well was my use of Photoshop on the product itself. I was able to edit out the name of the product yet still make the item look convincing. I also thought my ideas for this advert went well. I believe that if i had more time on this advert, i would be able to create something of good quality as well as tie in with the theme of Freaky or Unique. I believe my initial ideas were creative and unique, but due to the time limit and my lack of resources as well as knowledge, i was unable to complete something of high standards. However this will help me achieve something better in the near future as i can look back and see what went wrong and what i was missing so i am able to learn from it.
Yasmine, you have strong skills in photoshop your composition is good and you created a considered plan for your magazine advert that allowed you to relate your work to your product design.

You could look at including more professional terminology such as term like opacity, layers and specific effects used. Adding information about keyboard shortcuts e.g Cntrl+T to free transform and resize pictures will also add a more professional tone to your work.
Good start, well done
