progress from the past month

Over the past month I have been adding the final edits to my contents page, double page spread and front page. I have been looking at images to check they are appropriate, looking at text to check for errors and looking on a whole to see if my magazine fits with my ideal consumer and that there is little white space. My magazine is now finished and the final magazine will be published on my blog separately.

picture edits 6

 

These photos were all edited in the same way by just removing the background for them all. As the quality of the images here are not as good as the others i decided to use them as smaller images in my magazine rather than my main front page image.

picture edit 5

I edited this picture firstly by flipping the image so that the model looked over to the right rather than to the left. I then removed the background apart from on the seat in which she is sitting. I also enhanced the colours on the picture to make them much brighter

picture edit 4

to edit this picture i removed the background so that i could use it in ym letter from the editor. It is a small image and i tried to make the model look professional.

picture edit 3

This image was used as a smaller image on my front page within the sectionon how to get the latest trends. I edited it by enhancing the makeup the model was wearing using a photo editing software and then removing part of the background. I kept the ledge in which she is leaning on within the picture to give some depth to the image.

picture edit 2

This picture was edited by removing the background of the image to give a more professional look to my magazine. I also enhanced the eye-makeup by using an editing software. For the target audience of my magazine this picture is very dark and creates an older feel. I purposely chose this image as some of the text next to it in my double page spread deals with older issues such as self confidence. I hoped that it would emphasise the importance of this issue, especially for my target audience who would be coming to the age of feeling like this.

picture edit 1

Here you can see how i edited my original picture to create the final picture i used. I used an editing software programme to alter the colours and soften the face very slightly. Form here i then went on the remove the background so that i could use the image on the front page of my magazine which has a faint dotted background.

progress- front page and double page spread

This session i have completed my front page for my magazine and started my double page spread

progress- contents page and front page

This session i have updated my contents page from before and have also edited my front page some more.

Progress from term 1

The  image on the left is of my idea for a contents page design for my music magazine, and the second is the one i first came up with at the start of the term. This term i've learnt how to use pages, and photo editing software as well as learning new key terms and theories that i didn't know about previously.

picture edits

Over the past week i have been editing my pictures. i will use some of these on my contents page and double page spread, but some need to be retaken as they aren't very good quality.

I have also been trying some ideas for my contents page layout and my double page spread layout

Pixlr editing session

I learnt how to use pixlr and edited this picture of Demi Lovato. I added another layer onto the main image and then made the layer black on white by using the hue and saturation tool. I then changed the colour of her hair and lips by using the hue and saturation on the original layer.

This will help me with my magazine as i am now able to edit pictures effectively, to create a wide range of picture styles
