What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?

1. I added one of my original images in replacement of my
internet photo. I like how it has the same feeling as the
previous image and juxtaposes the front cover image.

2. I adjusted the brightness and contrast of
the image. I did this to enhance all of
the colours and to make the image look
more eye catching.

3. I used the polygon lasso tool to
create a copy of the model. This
will allow me to layer the body
above other objects, but it will
also allow me to have the
background a different colour to
the model. This will make the
model stand out.

4. I created a copy of the picture and added a black and
white effect to it. I then reduced the opacity to 50%.
This resulted in the background becoming faded
with only a slight hint of colour. I moved the cut out
of the model above both layers of the image so the
model had the original colouring. I used the same
technique on the front cover. This makes the model
the main focus in the image.

5. I used the spot healing tool to remove any
imperfections on her face. This makes the image
appear more seamless and smooth.

6. I selected the blur tool. I ran this around the edge of the cut out
image to reduce the harshness of the contrast between the cut out
image and the background. This makes the image look more
professional.

7. I changed the writing at the top to make it look more
professional and simple. I tool the inspiration from
another classical music magazine.

8. I began experimenting with
different fonts for my article.

9. I used the brush tool to make the teeth whiter. I then reduced
the opacity to make them look natural. I repeated this step on
the eyebrows and the eyelashes to add definition.

10. I increased the space between the columns
to make it look more professional easier and
to make it easier to read.

11. I reduced the size of the font and added more
text. This made it look more professional as most
magazine fonts are small. I also didn’t want to fill
up all of the space as I wanted the main focus to
be on the image and the heading.
