1. The image is pasted onto Adobe Photoshop. I resized
the image to fit into the page. I used the tool Move
and Resize to alter the height of the image.
Using the Brightness control panel, I manipulated the brightness,
contrast and saturation of my image. I altered the lighting on the
subject’s face, creating shadows which linger on his face. I also
altered the colouring of the subject’s clothing and gun, making
the suit darker and the gun authentic.
Another image, which is the background, is pasted behind the subject. The background was darker so I manipulated
the colouring of it to make it appear lighter. I added a transparent overlay over the background image so it can appear
lighter and less intense as the previous background.

2. I copied an image of police tapes and pasted it. I
manipulated the colouring of this decorative piece to
make it appear orange. I cropped the image, making
the tape torn. I positioned the tape on either side of
the subject.
For text I added the credits, release date, actor’s names
and the tagline. SF MOVIE POSTER is the credit’s font,
whilst the release, tagline and actor’s name was BEBAS
NEUE. I also copied logos from the production company,
studio company, IMAX and REAL 3D and pasted it onto
my poster. I had to find transparent images and if I could
not find these images with transparency I had to make
the image transparent. I used the Transparent tool to do
so.
The title’s font is GESSO which I placed directly on the
subject and the police tape.

I used these tools.
3. I copied the image onto Adobe Photoshop and altered
the brightness and contrast of the subject’s face and
hands. I used the Brightness and Contrast panel.
I added the white background onto my magazine front
cover.
I placed the title on top of my page yet I also made the
subject in front of the text. I adjusted the layering of
the two layers. The font used if BEBAS NEUE.

4. I used these tools.
Afterwards I added my button and the plus symbol,
using the Colour tool to make the symbols appear
more authentic.
I used the Move tool to resize the image.
The tool Marquee was used to crop
images whilst Lasso was to crop the
smaller areas of the image, such as the
watch and the gun. I allowed me to add
detail as well.
The Text tool was used to create the sell
lines, headline and masthead.
The Custom Shape tool was used to create
the button and the plus symbol.
I add more text and changed the colour of each, making
them blue or red for bold and alertness. I used a variety
of fonts such as BEBAS NEUE and ANDALE MONO.
