          Evaluation of Photoshop image

My overall Photoshop image is good, of course there is things I should improve, but i thinks it is good at the moment. Some thing that went well was that I had finished because this was my first time using Photoshop and I felt that at the start my end piece was going to be bad.
WWW: If someone was to do the connotation for my piece I think that they would find quite easy.                            If someone was to do the denotations of my piece I think that they would have any trouble doing it                I think that the idea of my piece was good, linking to stereo-types (without knowing).
EBI: On the last lesson I changed idea which was stupid because that gave me no time to make anything               exciting.
        I feel like my cover was too plain it wasn't very exciting and catchy. If I had used a contrast in colours i         think that it would have pushed my mark up.

Friday: i woke from my alarm which was on my phone. My phone is a good way to set an alarm because it is quick and simple. I watched TV while eating my breakfast as a hobby this is a good way to catch up on the news. Then I came home from school I played on my play station as a hobby then watched TV to see if there were any football transfers.

Saturday: I listen to music on my iPod on the coach on the way to my rugby match, this is a good way to motivate myself for rugby. after the match I text my friend to get in contact to meet up with my friends,phones are a simple and reliable way to get in touch with people. At 7 o'clock I watched Saturday night TV as entertainment.

Sunday: I had set an alarm on my phone because I had rugby training. When I got back from rugby I used my phone, laptop and iPod to help we my homework.
Waterloo road is a school where nobody cares, the teachers seem unmotivated to teach and the pupils look like they don"t want to be here. The head-teacher has gone crazy because he is throwing bills about. the pupils are wearing own clothes this means that they come here not for the education. The teachers are standing outside smoking in front of the pupils- this is not setting a good example to the children. There is a young boy looking around trying not to get caught selling drugs therefore he has got his hood up and a cap on when he sells the drugs he sells them in a hand shake. The school is pikey  because there is lots student in track-suits and big ear rings.  These examples show that waterloo road is a run down school that needs new teachers and new senior members of staff.
