Using Photoshop – Image Manipulation
Creating my magazine cover, contents and double page spread I used Photoshop I didn’t
really used image manipulation to change anything apart form to make the main image
super impose over the masthead like so on the right.
1. First of all you get your image
set up in the position you want
it and make sure you have
selected your image
2. You then get select the quick
selection tool and
begin to highlight the
top of the subject’s
heads. You might have to press the eye button to hide the
masthead so you can see you have selected the full head.
3. You them duplicate the layer and
get rid of the background of the
duplicate.
4. Then get rid of unnecessary
white space (if any) round the head with the rubber tool.
5. You then match it up with the original photo and then make sure
the layer is over the masthead layer and then you are free to do
everything else on your
magazine.
By doing this I wanted to make my magazine look
more professional as many magazines have the band or artist on the
front cover usually in front of the masthead, so by doing this I added a bit
of professionalism.
