Photoshop – Main TaskContents Page

This is the text before a layer style has been added to the mast head. It does not look interesting or eye catching. You highlight the text layer you want to add a layer style to, and choose from any of the following.

I have added the drop shadow effect now, and used the multiply blend mode. This makes it have a shadow behind the font style. Before I used this style, it did look like it needed more.

I changed the size of the drop shadow to make it more larger and this created a more interesting effect.

To complete the text style, I have added the bevel and emboss effect too. The blend mode is multiply also, as this makes it consistent.

Bevel and Emboss has given it a 3D effect, and so, it blends with the drop shadow I have included too.

This is what it looks like finished. It gives a obvious glowing effect which I think works very well. The font is Eras Bold Itc, which automatically gives it a soft look. Whereas, fonts like Lucida Fax are much more formal and do not give a friendly view like softer fonts do to younger people.

I have changed the name of the magazine’s font to Corbel Bold Italic, with a lilac colour instead of Corbel Regular, with a black colour as this is supposed to stand out, and it gives it more importance than the rest of the text.

I decided to use a lightly coloured background, as I want the text and images to be the main attraction. I chose a soft pink colour as it ties in with the whole of the magazine perfectly.

I then went to ‘Filter’ and clicked on ‘Render’ which gave a selection of options which I could use to change the colour of my background. I decided to use ‘Lighting Effects’ which changes the colour of the background as it highlights one colour into one area and gives it more of a blending effect.

It then brings up this and you can change where the lighting is focused on, the gloss changed the lightness of the background too as that would determine the soft pink colour and the white light would be towards the bottom. I thought this gave the magazine an individual effect about it.

This is what the background looked like when I had finished it. The white light is towards the bottom left, whereas the original soft pink colour that I chose is blending outwards from the middle to the top of the page.

In this screenshot, I have selected the ‘Magic Wand Tool’ which selects sections of an image which has the same colour theme and so it selects the area that you want to remove. I did this as, I wanted to cut out the blue background on the image over the contents text.

This shows that I the magic wand tool has selected the area I wanted to remove for me, as it automatically knows which section that I would like to cut out.

The blue background has gone from the image now, and has left me with an image of the model alone.

I did this technique on 3 other models as I had the same issue of the blue background as that was just so it was plain, as that is what I wanted.
