Today I made some more changes to my front cover and my contents page. I took some pictures and edited them on Photoshop.
FRONT COVER
Jess.
To edit this photo of Jess I firstly used the magic wand tool to crop her out of the background. I then made her into a new layer but selecting cut new layer. I then used the curves tool to edit the colour of Jess’ face and make the picture look more professional. I then added used the gradient tool, in a yellow colour to add the colour tint. next I added some text.
Caroline
With Caroline’ picture I used the magic wand tool and edited the curves of the picture again. I used the magic wand her head band and her sign separately so that I could make the colour’s really sand out. I then used a rainbow gradient tool to create the bubble’s on a new layer.
I also edited the text at the top of the page to math the pictures, to make the magazine more consistent.
CONTENTS PAGE
Courtney
First I cropped the picture to the size I wanted it. I used the magic wand to cut Courtney out of the background and made her into a new layer. I then used the black and white tool and i customised the darkness of different colours in the picture. I then went back to the background layer and used a plain white gradient on it. I then made the gradient slightly less opaque. I then created some text with a large distanced, thick drop shadow I also added a star stamp tool in various sizes to the background.
Caroline 2
I used the magic wan to grab Caroline and used the curves tool to make her look quite dark. I then clicked select inverse and cut her on to a new black layer. I used the magic wand on her eyes and her mouth to make them a more exaggerated colour. I then used a white gradient tool to create the light effect in the background.
Camilla
Firstly I cropped the picture to a new size. I then edited the curves and colour balance of the picture. Next I selected the background using the magic wand tool and uses a “smart blur” filter effect to change the background.
