2. For the main image of my double page spread I had used the patch tool to replace and delete areas of the image which I did not
want. For example on the car I had removed the reflection of a man on the door.
3. Again using the patch tool I had removed the numbers in the background as I believed these numbers made the image look
tacky.
4. Again using the patch tool I had used it to get rid of the reflection of everything in the background of the image as I did not want
the focus to be taken away from the car to the messy background.
5. How the image looked before and after I got rid of the messy unnecessary background using the patch tool. Now to picture looks
much more neater and there is more focus on the man and the car.
Before After
6. To create my double page
spread I had created a new
Photoshop document and
changed the size of the canvas
to 8.5” x 11”, the same size as a
double page spread in
magazines. I had used the
rectangle shape tool to create
the border around the image
and the line tool as an
indication of where the pages
split. I had then used the text
tool to write down the title of
the image on the picture “my
first masquerade experience”,
the font I had used for this text
is the same as my masthead
‘Castellar Regular’. For the rest
of the text on my page I had
used Arial as my font besides
for the ‘T’ at the beginning of
the article which was again the
same font as my masthead. I
had used columns to present
the article as which would be
done in a real magazine.
8. To include some of my article on my image I had drawn a rectangle on the image and I rasterised it as I wanted it to be
transparent. I had then used the first part of my article and placed it on the transparent black box.
