The document discusses editing the front cover of a school magazine using Photoshop. The author brightened and increased contrast to improve a dark photograph. Vibrance was also adjusted to prevent oversaturation of skin tones. Techniques like changing brightness, contrast, and vibrance help enhance photographs for magazine covers.

1. Editing the front cover of my
school based magazine
Done by Eman Shah

2. This is the front cover of my
magazine that I have made using
Photoshop. I will now start to edit
the front cover, using some
editing techniques that are
available on Photoshop.

3. As you can see here I have clicked on
‘Image’ on the top which has then
brought me to a drop down menu
where I can edit the picture.

4. I have edited the brightness and the
contrast of the photograph. I turned
up the brightness and contrast
because when I took the photograph
the exposure seemed inaccurate and
this can result my photograph being
too dark or too light. So I
automatically improved the picture by
correcting the brightness and the
contrast

5. I have changed the vibrance because I wanted to
adjust the saturation on the photograph so the
colours approach full saturation. I also used
vibrance because I wanted to make sure that the
girl’s skin tone does not become oversaturated, as
this could affect the whole photograph from being
dark.

- This is how my school based magazine
looks.

7. Annotations of the front cover
This is the mast head of the magazine. I
chose to call the magazine ‘SALTS ALERT’
because when the reader looks at it, it will
automatically make them think what is yet
to come from the school.
The website and the date line is
known as the small print. I have put
the website there to make the
readers aware of the salts website,
without them actually having to read
the magazine. The date line is there to
inform what issue of the magazine it
is.
These are the cover lines of
the school based magazine.
The cover lines use
interpellation to entice the
audience and show them
what is to come inside. ‘Have
your voices heard’ uses direct
mode of address to grab the
audience and make as if the
cover line is talking to them
personally.
This is the slogan at the bottom. The slogan
is in black and is bold which stands out. The
slogan is short which makes it unique and
easy to remember, which also means it will
lure the audience to get their attention and
allow them to remember the slogan for a
long time.
This is the main image
of the magazine of the
two girls. They are
dressed smart and are
wearing their lanyards
which show they are
students from the
school. Their gesture
codes draw attention,
in which they are
directly doing their
work together showing
a friendly
environment. This will
entice the audience
and draw them in.
