How I edited my images in photshop for my magazine

1. Photoshop Editing

2. My Magazine
 To start off I made a rough sketch of
what I wanted my magazine to look
like on paper.
 I made an idea in my head of what
colours and fonts I would need for
the conventions of this style of
magazine.
 Once I had made a full plan of what I
wanted to create, I started with a
base, covering the main sections and
colours that the pages would have.

3.  This meant that I had a good idea of how
the space was being used on the front
cover of my magazine.
 Next I had to take some pictures and get a
wide variety that would mean that I had
flexibility when it came to editing and
putting original images into my product.
 I tried a few different images in a few
different places to see if there was any
other placements that suited the style of
the music.

4. Shaping images
 The next step was to shape the
images to make them fit into the
specific spaces that I had planned
them for.
 I used a couple of different
techniques for this such as:
 Using the Polygon Lasso tool to
select the piece of image that I
didn’t want and to then delete
what was left inside.
 Or using another shape/text to
cover up a section of the image.

5. Brightness/contrast
 Once my images were in the right
place with the right shape, I needed
some of them to have a different
brightness/contrast.
 I needed this as some of the images
were either too bright, too dark or had
colours in the image that didn’t match
the style of the music.
 To change this I went onto Image,
Adjustments, Brightness/Contrast
 This allows me to change the
brightness and contrast of the
images.

6. Colour change
 Some images needed to have a
different colour hue to them.
 To do this I went to Image,
Adjustments, Hue/Saturation.
 This gave me a pop-up that I could
use to change the colour of the
overall picture as well as how
saturated it was.
 By slightly tuning the Hue bar, I can
give the image a colder or warmer
feel, depending on the colours I
chose.
