Front Cover Process

Here I used Photoshop to edit my image. I used the patch selection tool to remove the background and place the image on a white background. Here you can see me adding a smart radius to smoothen out the figure. I then increased the brightness to make it look like the picture was taken in a studio.

On Publisher I then started constructing my magazine. I added the edited image onto the page and then place the masthead behind and increased the brightness and contrast.

I then added a banner across the top of my magazine and changed the colour of it as well as the font style to make it look attractive. The slight gradient of the purple makes it look creative and effective.

Next, I added a list of familiar artists and then rotated the mast head slightly. After that I added a barcode and started adding some sell lines trying to make it look girly and creative.

I got images of other models that I took and added then to the page. I added a button with a pull quote inside as well as experimenting with what shapes I should put some of my sell lines in.

I used PowerPoint to then add effects to my main article. I got the font from dafont.com and then changed the colour, set a transparent colour and added a glow behind to make it look effective.

I started putting together my sell lines and repositioning elements to make the layout clear and easy to follow. I made sure that I didn’t cover the models face. I then experimented with colours and wanted to keep the colours simple yet feminine.

After adding my sell lines I experimented with a change of fonts and wanted to show the use of a variety of fonts presented in a fun, creative way.
