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

1. I firstly chose this photo to use as my main image. I liked the
contrast between the red of her hair and the green of the tree.

2. Here I changed the
brightness and
contrast to make
the colours more
vibrant and eye-
catching. I did this
by selecting edit,
then adjustments
and then brightness
and contrast.

3. I wanted my
background to be a
different colour to my
model so I used the
polygon lasso tool to
cut out the model.
Once I had done this,
I created a new layer
as a copy.

4. I copied the main
image layer. On one
of the layers, I added
a black and white
setting.

5. I reduced the
opacity so a slight
bit of the
background
shows through.
This makes the
background much
more muted and
allows the photo
to stand out.

6. This photo was very
dark so I changed
the brightness and
contrast to make it
stand out more.

7. I changed the colour
of the lips and also
added a small bit of
white to make the lips
look shiny and natural.

8. I decided to try a new
photo as it didn’t signify
the genre as much as I
wanted it to. I went to a
church and decided to
choose a photo from
one of the shots that I
got from this shoot.
I then changed the
brightness and contrast
on the photo to make
the colours stand out.

9. I used the spot healing brush
tool. I used this to perfect
parts of the skin and to
remove any flaws such as
spots.

10. I made a cut out of the model
holding the violin. I then made a
copy of the whole photo and did
the same process as before. I
made the photo black and white
then reduced the opacity. This
makes the background much
more muted and makes the
image stand out.

11. I filled the lips in
with the brush
tool then reduced
the opacity to
make the lips
stand out more
and look healthier.

12. I added all of my
original components
from my mock up so I
could begin to make
changes.
I changed the font of
the lettering to make it
stand out more and
suit my magazine
genre better.

13. I changed the
size of some of
my fonts to
experiment and
see which
looked the most
suitable.

14. I went online and checked on a website to see if a
website was taken. I found a website that was not
taken which I then placed on my magazine. This
ensures that the URL is not taken.
