Magazine Production

To create the front cover and contents page of our magazine we used adobe photoshop elements. Firstly we had to take photos of our models for the front cover of our magazine, we borrowed a camera and went to take our photos, we also took some scenic shots of the 6th form cafe and the theatre cafe for use within our magazine. We then imported them into photoshop to start editing for use within our magazine. I used the polygonal lasso tool to cut around my model and then used the select inverse tool to delete the area around her. I then accidentally managed to make it look like a vintage photo by playing with the contrast and brightness settings, originally i was attempting to change the hair colour. I then searched for some fonts that were fitting and eventually changed them to a more masculine font so it stood out more. I finished it by adding a barcode. I then started on my contents page, which, in comparison, was a lot easier. I just used the paint bucket tool to fill it with the same colour blue as my font on the front page, i also used the same font to mantain the style of the magazine. I then imported the scenic photos and shrunk them to size to fit in my magazine.
