1. PHOTOSHOP.
The main technology that I used was for my front cover, this
was to edit the background out and make it black.
1-The first step was to click on the brush tool and select the
colour to black.
2-The second step was to make the brush to a large size so it is
easier and quicker to do the edges.
3-The next thing that I did was I went all around my photo with
the black brush as close as I could to the main part of the
image as I could, I did this with a smaller brush and this allowed
me to do a very close neat line and make the editing look a
little bit more professional.
4-The image is now finished as there is no longer any
background it is just black which then fits in with my genre of
music. Once I had used photo shop on my picture the only next
thing to do it crop the picture and make it fit onto my front
cover with the text and other images.
Using Photoshop as my main technology has allowed me to
edit my photograph with a lot more precision with my editing
rather than using something like paint, PowerPoint or any other
editing websites.

2. INSTAGRAM
I used Instagram to edit my posters on my front cover, the main
image on my front cover and one of my images on my content
page. The main th8ings that I did was to turn up the contrast to
make the image darker to fit in with my target audience and
genre of music. I also turned the sharpness up to make the
image a lot clearer as it will make it look more professional as
images on front covers aren’t blurry blobs in the corner they
are still professional shots like the main image on the front
cover.
Adding all of the darker shadows and contrast etc makes my
original image look better for my target audience and genre of
magazine/music.
Using Instagram allowed me to edit my photographs the way
that Photoshop doesn’t do, or that I know of. Also using
Instagram made it easier for me to edit photos at home
because I can edit them at home without having to use
Photoshop which I don’t have on my laptop.
