Manipulation of images

Today I have learnt how to edit my picture in Photoshop. I edited text and added colour and stroke. I learnt how to get rid off white background for my text. I also learnt about how to represent rock music through taking an image of my model. The image of the model shown in these pictures is not going to be the final image for my contents page.

In these print screen, I show that I learnt how to add text on the front page and add cover lines, main cover line, barcode, Priceline and issue number. To manipulate the image I used the black and white filter on the front cover image as it represents the rough background of rock. Also, I added a shape which was a star, to be my puff and it catches the audiences attention. I also, learnt how to use ‘character’ to bring my text together, and so that I can add more text on the page.

In these print screens you can see that I have learnt how to add a stroke to my text which makes it stand out to the audience and changing the colour of the text. I have also added to my main cover line and have added some text on the right hand side corner which gives extra information to the audience about my magazine.

In these print screens you can see, that I added a banner at the bottom of the front cover with a catchy phrase which stand out to the audience. I have also learnt how to add extra cover line's which fills up the empty space. I did this by going onto windows clicking on ‘character’ and making the text come closer together. I added more colour to the text to make my magazine pop.

Contents page

I learnt how to transfer my masthead over from my front cover onto my contents page. I just had to minimise the screen and drag the layer over. I also made a title and added colour to it. I added the picture that I am going to use for the contents page and got ready to manipulate some of them.

HERE YOU CAN SEE THAT I HAVE EDITED THE IMAGE BY TAKING THE BACKGROUND AWAY AND PLACING A STUDIO BEHIND THE GIRLS. HOWEVER, I WILL NOT BE USING THIS IMAGE ON THE CONTENTS PAGE ANYMORE AS I NEEDED MORE ARTISTS. I LEARNT HOW TO ADD PAGE NUMBERS, SPEECH BUBBLES AND TEXT TO THE CONTENTS PAGE.

These print screens show that I learnt how to cut one of the girls out the image and place one into a blank background and one in a studio background. I also learnt that I could use rectangles very slimly to separate the pages.

I added a puff in the right hand side corner to pop out to the audience. Added stroke to the images. Added borders around text. I also manipulated the image of Runa as I learnt how to make it black and white.

In these print screens, you can see that I have added page numbers and speech bubbles to guide my audiences to the pages that they should go to find specific information. I coloured the found out how to colour the rectangles black using the fill tool. I added extra information at the bottom of the page to show the audience more about what is inside the magazine. I have also included a page number on the bottom right hand side of the page to show the audience what page they are on.

In these print screens you can see that I have cut around the main models picture and I have added a concert background, that I personally took and placed her upon it. Resized the background so that it would fit the model.

These print screens are from InDesign, it shows that I learnt how to insert my main image into one side of the page and I learnt how to insert my text onto the double page spread using the text box tool. Also, I knew that my article could not fit only one text box as it came up with an error, this meant then I learnt that I should make another text box and put the excess text onto the other text box.

In these print screens you can see that I have learnt how to re colour the text into whatever colour I like and I used the swatches tool to do this. I also learnt how to add a headline, stand first and by-line. I used a text box to add all of these features. In addition, I added a grab quote and made my text wrap around it. This meant the grab quote would pop out towards the audience.

In these print screens, you can see that I am re colouring my text and adding captions to my pictures.

In this print screen you can see that I have learnt how to colour the background. For this I drew a rectangle around the pages and, clicked on the swatches box and changed the colour. I also re arranged the box so it was sent t the back of the text. I did this by right clicking and clicking on the rearrange button. Also, I got rid of all the hyphens so that it could bring my text together more. I used the hyphen button do this.

In these pictures, you can see that I have re arranged my image and have increased the size hugely. I have spread the image across both the pages and I have put the text upon the image. I have also coloured the text differently so that it would suit the background more. In the end I went with a black, white, grey and red colour scheme, as I learnt that these colour go the best together.
