The document discusses modifications made to images in Photoshop for a magazine cover. It describes tracing a letter "E" outline, adding a floral pattern to give it vibrancy and visibility. It also details editing a cover photo by cutting out the background, adjusting saturation and brightness to look natural. The final logo incorporates a floral pattern, hot pink color, and filled black patterns to symbolize danger and love for the R&B music genre targeted by the magazine.
2. Creating the Logo:
I have got the letter “E”
with patterns from the
internet and modified it
by erasing of the
background and using a
magnetic tool to get out
the outline of the letter
“E” and also I have
made it big to make it
stand out from the rest
of my letters.
I started creating the first draft
of my logo on Photoshop. I
decided to call my RnB
magazine “Lemz” because
RnB tends to have a short
snappy names like music
magazine “Vibe”.
I have decided to add this extra
design on the letter “L” to give
the wild side of my magazine as
RnB can be quite wild so it’s
compatible with my genre.
3. Photo shopped:
Before After
Using the magnetic tool on Photoshop, I
traced out the outline of the design and
made many layers out of it and then
added all of them on top of each layer to
give me multiples floral pattern rather
just a simple design which shows it
vibrancy.
Multiple pictures of
the same pattern.
4. Modifying Letter “E”
Before
After
I erased of the solid
background to make it
transparent so then the
background wouldn’t block
the magazine background
that I am going to use.
5. Modified and final
version of my Logo:
I modified my logo because it was to simple and didn’t
give that RnB look or the vibe when you look at it. So I got
a floral pattern of the internet and using Photoshop I
erased of the white background. I used the colour hot pink
because I wanted it look more vibrant and visible from the
white background. The floral pattern gives the look of
wilderness which my genre of magazine has.
Using the painting
tool on Photoshop, I
filled up the black
patterns with red
colour to give the
symbolism of
danger and love.
6. My Cover picture
Before
After
Using the picture that I took for my front cover, I
photo shopped the picture and modified it. I cut
out the background and the outline of the
picture and put it on transparent background. I
also changed the saturations and the brightness
of the picture so that it looks natural.
7. The barcode
Using the Photoshop
I cropped the
barcode picture and
then using the
eraser I erased of
white background to
make it transparent
on my magazine.
8. Evaluation:
The reason why I have made my logo with the floral
patterns and used the name which I have came up
with for the magazine is that I wanted to bring a new
whole theme or an concept to the media music
magazines. The concept of using such colour or a
pattern which symbolises and represents my front
cover will give my targeted audience the message of
what they are about to unleash inside.
