The document describes edits made to several images for a magazine cover and inside panels. It summarizes the edits made to features like eyebrows, lips, and skin on the front cover to make the subject look more symmetrical and polished. Subsequent edits are described for the back cover, inside panels, and an advertisement that remove blemishes and markings from stairs and backgrounds and further touch up the subject's skin and features to look fresher and promote the album.

I cropped the image out as I knew that for a
CD cover it would have to be a square size fit
in order to edit it.

Before After Description & Explanation
Eyebrows I used the brush tool in order
to make the eye brows seem
more symmetrical as well as
stand out more in a natural
way. I had to be careful not to
make the inside hairs thick.
Lips I made the lips darker which
matched to her costume of
the checked shirt as well as
with the title of the album
name. I also made sure that I
changed the opacity to a little
more than half, so her lips
wouldn’t look too glossy or
like cartoon.
Skin Here you can see the
difference between the image
in terms of her facial flaws,
like the small spot on her
nose as well as her eye-bags
that were airbrushed. It took
some time to make it look
natural.

3. This was my first edit for
the back cover of my
magazine. I liked her
posture and the location
she was, however after
thinking about how I
could present my
soundtrack and display it
on the image, it looked
as though I dumped the
soundtrack onto the
image. It didn’t fit in to
the image. Due to this, I
tried to go with another
idea of capturing an
image of just the stairs
and putting each song on
each stair.
However, I thought the
framing of the
information at the
bottom was in a good
position.

Change of
image
After finishing the first image, I tried
lining the soundtrack list alongside
the artist however it looked odd, so
I thought it would look better if I
had a separate image of the stairs
with each song on each stair (funnily
my teacher had the same idea and
told me to go with it). It seemed
more creative and unique.
Stairs I used the clone stamp tool in order
to copy a section of each stair and
then cover over of a mark on the
stairs in order for the stairs to look
clean. It was also to avoid the
writing from being hard to see, due
to the marks on the stairs from the
original image.
Icon I decided to make my own logo, or
lets say make it better by taking an
image from online and then adding
text to it underneath the image,
which made it seem more realistic.

Boots As an artist, her image is still important
no matter how natural of their image is
presented. In order to show her stylish
shoes and remove the bent lines on her
boots, I used the brush tool to airbrush
and give ‘polished’ look.
Stairs I airbrushed the stairs in order to remove
the marks off and continue the same
feature from the back cover. It also brings
less attention to the stairs and more to
the artist.
Face/ Skin Here I have airbrushed her face due to
her looking tired. I had also edit the lips
in order to make it seem more
symmetrical in terms of the light that
reflects of her lips. I also made sure that
her eyebrows were as the same of the
front cover.

Objects in
the
background
The boards in the
background inside the
building looked a little too
tacky. Due to this I decided to
remove it by using the same
shade of green to airbrush it
out.
Stairs Again I have removed the
marks on the stair. I know I
needed to continue this
throughout all the images of
the stairs.
Face/ skin Again she looked tired, so I
airbrushed her eye-bags as
well as her cheekbones in
order for her make-up to
stand out more.

sell the album
Icons &
album
cover
I’ve included icons to show
where audience can buy
music and follow the artist

further events. Using the
social media allows fans to
spread more about the
artist. I have also included an

order to show what the CD
