Changing Front Cover Photo...

When I was looking closer at my front cover to double check I had everything a music magazine front cover needs, I noticed a mark on my models leg.
 
I tried to cover it by using the colour replacement tool but you could still notice it.
So I have decided to take some new photos outside of school so they shouldn't need edited as much.

EDITING Front Cover.

I have started to add the story hooks onto the front cover.
 
Main Storyline:
 

 
I used the font Berlin Sans FB Demi for the name Victoria Ashley but I used the font Birch Std for the rest of the text. I done this so her name would stand out to the rest of the page as it is different font. I also made her name a different colour with a black drop shadow to make it pop out on the page.
 
Other Story Hooks:
 
I started off by using a simple font called Berlin Sans FB Demi.
Having all the text in black looks too boring for a pop music magazine so I decided to add boxes around some of the texts which are the same colour as the masthead.
 
I still felt like it needed a bit more colour so I highlighted more words by making the text a coral colour which I took from the models outfit.
 
This is what my magazine front cover looks like over all.
 
 
 
 


EDITING Front Cover.

I produced a survey to decide what colour title my target audience preferred.
The majority of the vote was for he green title as it stood out the most against the model and her outfit.
 
 
I added a drop shadow to the title to make it stand out from the background more.

EDITING Front Cover.


 




I added the title of my magazine, BEAT, onto the front cover.

I have placed the title behind the model so it doesn't cover the models face.

This is also a common convention for magazines.












 
 
I thought the title was too plain for a pop music magazine so I decided to play around with the colours.
 
I selected some of the colours from her outfit so it would tie in.
 
 
 
 
 


 
 

Initial Photographs Edited

Here is my edited photograph
 
 
I had began by using the Quick Selection Tool to delete the background. I did have to zoom into the image and go round the edges of the model to make the edges more crisp.
I simply then increased the brightness.
I am  happy with the outcome as it looks more vibrant and fun that will catch the readers eye.


Inital Photographs

I am using a young attractive female as my model for my pop magazine.
I started taking some initial photographs of my model. She is wearing a colourful playsuit and black heals as it looks fun.
 
 
I wont be using this original photograph as it has came out too dark, as did the rest of the photographs. I liked this pose as she looks like a dominant young woman.
I am going to try and edit this photograph by using Photoshop and will update in another post.
