EDITING Front Cover 2

 

I felt like the top of the cover was too bare. So I added a bubble advertising a free poster inside the magazine.

This will also draw in the fans of 1D as they may want the poster.

I then added a barcode, price and website at the bottom as this is a typical convention of magazines.

I added my storylines to the front cover.

I took the colour from the masthead and used it to highlight key words.

 

I added a faint red box behind the story line in the centre to make it stand out from the others surrounding it.

I added the main headline as a banner onto the front cover but it was difficult to read the text so I added a faint white box.

 



EDITING Front Cover 2

 

 

I decided to re-do my front cover as my images were not very good quality.

I used a different model and natural lighting which made the editing process of the image much quicker. I picked this image based on Marjorie Fergusons theory of facial expressions and picked the Super Smiler expression as it draws in the audience.

I then added my masthead and changed the colour from green to purple as it contrasts with the background to make it stand out more.

Lighting Change

 

I started off with this photograph of my model, Lucy. However, the lighting was too dull for a pop magazine so I asked my target audience their brightness preferences.

 

 

 



My target audience preferred the brightness increased to 75%

More Photographs

 

 

I tried a different outfit that fitted the genre of my magazine better.

With this photograph, I removed the background using the Quick Selection Tool. However, this leaves a green shadow on the model.

 

I tried adjusting the colour levels to get rid of the green.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I couldn't manage to get my model a 'normal' skin colour and this is the case for all the images I had took.

 

So, I am going to take some photographs outside of school so I can use natural lighting and a variety of backgrounds.
