2. • First I used the app pixlr editor to
begin to edit my cover. I wanted to
use three individual pictures to make
up the group picture so I had to begin
by removing the background from
each and making sure it was
transparent to I could overlay them.

3. • After getting rid of the majority, I
used the eraser tool for a more
precise removal around the edges. I
left the shadow in the background to
make the images less 2-D.

4. III
• I then added a new image as a layer
and repeated the process.
5. IV
• I then moved the layer down using
this tool.
6. V
• After that I then repositioned the layer
behind the other until I liked how it
looked.
7. VI
• I then repeated this whole process
with the third image.
8. VII
• I then went in and made any final
touch ups to the background removal.
9. VIII
• After this I used the colour selection
tool to pick out the blue from the
patch on the dungarees so it would
coordinate. I then used the wand to
select the background and filled it in
with this colour.
10. IX
• From this I switched onto the editing
software picmonkey. I first edited out
blemishes and smoothed out the skin
like they would in a real magazine.
11. X
• I then went on to add the title of my
magazine, but realised I would have
to make it on a separate page as an
overlay so I would be able to put it
behind the image of the band on the
front.
12. XI
• This is what I did here, making the
background transparent and as big as
possible.
13. XII
• Here I then added it as an overlay and
removed the bits that overlaid the
image.
14. XIII
• From there I added the rest of the
cover titles, added backgrounds – like
the circle for some, for authenticity.
15. XIV
• I then found an overlay of a barcode
on google and added it to my cover.
16. XV
• I then added the final touches of
added pictures of other featured
artists inside to try and make my
cover look as convincing as possible.
