2. Photo Selection DPS
I discarded this photo because I don’t like how it cuts
off the top of my model’s head and I don’t like the tilt
down angle
I chose this photo because it has the perfect
amount of space for me to put my article and I
love how bright the model’s face looks
Although I love this photograph, I didn’t use it
because it doesn’t have enough space for me to
work with to put my article.
I don’t feel like my model is the focus of this
photo and that the green wall distracts from her
so I don’t want to use it.
I really like this photo however for my DPS, there
isn’t enough space to put my article over her.
I didn’t want to use this photo because the
lighting makes my model’s eyeliner look a bit
weird.

4. Having
duplicated my
layer, I used the
convert to
black and white
tool and
changed the
contrast until I
was happy with
the
photograph.
I then used
the eraser
tool to pick
out her lips,
eyes and
guitar as they
are the most
important
features of
the
photograph.
I used the quick
selection tool to
select the guitar
strap and used
the bucket tool
to make it more
vibrant.
7. I used the scribble tool in Publisher to
make my article go around my
model’s shoulder and guitar to make
it look more professional. I also
realigned my text using the ruler to
ensure that when its printed, it falls to
the right of my page. I created my
page numbers using the circle tool
and made a drop cap for the
beginning of my article as is
convention in magazines.
Having
changed
my colour
scheme, I
changed
my model’s
lip colour
and also
her guitar
strap to be
purple.
