Photo Editing

 

By using Curves, I was able to adjust the lighting of the picture. As you can see the Mid and Light tones are on the light side, as I wanted to make her more brighter.


With this image, I used the Selective Colour Options and adjusted with the Red. This is because i wanted to make her look sharper, visible and vibrant. If you look at the original picture, she looks rather a bit out of colour or saturated. I adjusted each colour to give her the best look as possible and enhance the colour.


For this Image, i wanted to create a vintage effect. I used the Photo Filter, and chose the Sepia, which gave it a light-brown, old effect. I increaesed the Density to increase the effect of the Sepia







For this effect, I wanted to make it black and white so I used the Black and White effect. I noticed that you can manipulate the black and white effect and change the colour of it. This is another way you can make a Sepia look, or change the colour in general. Is probably the most easiest way to get the right tone or colour you want.

Final Draft of Front Cover



 


I thought of three other ways I can lay out my Front Cover. Instead of putting the 'Free Midsummer CD', I mounted the actual CD onto the magazine, so it would become more enticing and draws the audience more, also I removed some of the puffs to make it less crowded. The one on the centre and right, I used another picture for the front cover, in my opinion it looks good as it shows location, whereas the first one is blank, however it slightly takes up the space and the audience won't be able to read the text properly.

 

By using photoshop, I got a picture of a CD Case and used this picture and put it on top to make it look like a CD Album, I also used a new font to create the Band's name and their featured song.

First Draft of Front Cover

What I like about this page is the dramatic lighting used, I photoshopped her by adjusting the brightness to give that sense of purity and give it that sense of classicness. However I am making a classical magazine, and this page seems a bit to pop. The writing are too Bold, and the colours seem to flashy

First Draft for Contents

First Draft for Article

For my first draft I used 2 images that were on the same location, I used this images to present her lifestory as being elegant and sweet. Although the colours doesn't match her style.

I did another draft for the double page article, by using the Front Page image. I like this a lot, however everything seems too piled up and doesn't look presentable.
