Task
You will need some magazines and a computer with saved images to look at.
Look at some images on your computer to decide how you could use them in a magazine.
- In your folder, look up the file information for each picture.
- Note down the dimensions, which will say something like ‘3264 x 1840’ or ‘698 x 393’.
- To work out how big you could print them, divide the dimensions by 300.
- Look at a magazine and imagine how you would use one of your pictures in it.
- Measure the width you would like it to appear in inches and multiply it by 300 to get the dimensions you need.
- Does the image you chose have enough resolution?
- Imagine you want to crop your image. If you want to use half the width of the image you will only have half the dots. Is your image still big enough?
