This activity has allowed me to develop my skills in Photoshop in accordance to a billboard which I have never attempted to construct before. I have an average idea about the canvas size now and also about different conventions that make a billboard successful. The conventions I have recreated are a masthead, essential information, images and strapline. I have learnt that the background of a billboard needs to be pretty simple and the images need to lead and direct the page. This will help my own construction process as I can adapt these conventions to my own billboard as I have now already had practice at building one. The images I gathered from google however to successfully complete my own brief I will need to use images that I have taken myself for my own magazine. I used Photoshop to edit the strap - line behind the lead characters which was a really useful skill I have learnt which can be adapted to my own production. I also learnt about using grids to align the text in the middle of the billboard which will be useful when trying to align my own text specifically on my contents page.
