4. 1
the gradient tool,
I used this tool a lot throughout my production it
basically spreads out the tone of a colour to
create a light to dark effect.
I find this tool very effective.
And where I decided to position my gradient on the
front, puts the main character in the light,
giving it a positive connotation.
5. 2
Cutting, adjustments, and creating a shadow
Cutting is a main tool used in Photoshop. To cut out
objects to be placed onto something else, or to
incorporate an image onto another one.
I used this on obsessive amounts on both of my
magazines.
Adjustments
I used contrast, brightening the image, and
saturation to make the image stand out, I tend to
adjust nearly all my pictures to get the correct
appearance.
Shadow and stroke, I used behind writing on every
page I have created, stroke being an outliner and
shadow makes the image stand out more. And gives
it a more 3d appearance.
6. • Basic shapes
I used basic shapes currently all over my magazine. To
create borders, to add columns inferring in different
colours etc..
Arrows, to keep going forward threw the magazine.
Birds to give it a more informal rural authentic
appearance. make it more individual.
