Photoshop post

Photoshop –

I used many tools on Photoshop including, changing the contrast and exposure, adding text (editing the text – Size, location on the page, colour font. Adding images, FX, drop shadows, inner glow. I found it hard to edit specific parts of the image (Altering colour on the face, lips, eyes etc.) Although I did not particularly need to alter any specific part of the photo, it would be helpful in the future to know. My key colours were light pink, white, black and yellow; I used yellow for most of the subheadings to make them stand out from the page as it seemed like the most important information. Whereas I used black for a lot of the regular text amongst the page and the baby pink added a softer look to the front cover. 

For example, this photo is too dark and was taken away from the light; this could be
altered on photoshop by changing the brightness. 

I need to add a bar code to my front cover so it will look like a legitimate magazine. I would also like to improve the colour of my centre image; perhaps adjust the exposure to make it brighter. The strengths were the title and sub headings, by standing out from the page and capturing peoples attention; I used a lot of the FX on my title to make it have a drop shadow and capitalised the sub headings to clearly show people that its important information. I also think the splash fits in well with magazine cover; Involves key information to stand out. I could have also filled the white space on the page more so it seems as if there is a larger content in the actual magazine. The title is written in the font "Chalkduster", I chose this because it looks quite rough and rugged and suggests what type of magazine it is. Where as the sub headings and text are written in a less outgoing font "Lucienda Grande". 

I altered this image on photoshop by changing the contrast and exposure
so it will become brighter and more vibrant.
