1. Evaluation
The programs I used to make this beg in the planning and making
was: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Power Point, to do the research
before making the bag. Google Chrome and Adobe Photoshop CS 5.1
to make the bag and find the images I needed. I also used Google
Chrome as well in the research.
In adobe Photoshop the tools I used was; the crop tool to crop the
pictures, the eye drop tool to sample the colours on a picture to find
the colour I needed, I used the brush tool and the
pencil tool to draw lines on photos, I used the
eraser to erase the back ground, I also used the
gradient tool to create my own background on the
bottom of my bag. I used the paint bucket tool
as well to fill in space I made I used this tool on
all the sides of my bag. I used the line tool to get
a perfect line. I used filter and to change the effects on my photos I
used. I also used the rota scope technique.
All the tools and techniques I used, I had never used before and I had
to learn how to use them.
The strength I have I my bag are the use of
many different techniques such as rota
scope which I had never used before. I felt
that I used this technique very well and
was a big strength with in this task. My
use of pencil tool in this task was very
strong. I work very well with it on the
front and back of my bag. I think that the

2. front of my bag was a really good point of my bag and a real strength
because bit involves all the skills that I stated above. So this would
give me a very high level which is very good. But more
important the front looks professional and very
appealing to the eye which is a very good and the
whole point of this project was to make a bag which
was professional that could be used in HMV.
A weakness I feel there is in my bag is the sides. I
think it is a weakness because; there was not a lot of
skill that went into it. I could have maybe added a
back ground to the logo or changed the colour of the
HMV logo to a more appealing one.
I’m very pleased with my bag and the way it has
turned out because it looks very professional and fulfils my unit 7
aims and task that was asked of me.
If I was to do this task again I would change the sides like I said
before. I would do this by adding a background and also an effect
such as liquefying the picture and pulling or condensing it in different
areas giving it an old effect which would make the bag more retro
and fit in better with the rest if the bag. This would also fit in better
with the fashion right now in bags. If I was to do this task again I
would maybe do my research in more detail to help me make the
bag a lot quicker and to a better standard even thou it is a very good
standard already.
In conclusion and all parts considered, I think this task went very well
and will give me a good level because of all the effort and skill that is
involved into making the bag. But also allthe prep and behind the
scene work, that had to go into it before the bag so it could be made,
this is very important and is the key to making this bag.
