The document describes editing photos taken during a music magazine photo shoot. Photos were taken indoors for better lighting and editing flexibility. The front cover photo was cropped and had its contrast and temperature increased. A content page photo was cut out and placed on a plain surface. Further editing of the content page photo included increasing contrast and temperature to make the skin tone look more natural. The final content page design links the font and colors to the magazine masthead for consistency.

1. Photo shoot for music magazine, and evidence of manipulating the photographs I was my own model in my photo shoot, I used the photos for my content page, front cover and double page spread.

2. Photos All my photos were taken indoor, with a simple camera. I chose to have my photos taken inside for better lighting. And to play around with shadows.

3. Photos I took more photos and changed clothes and guitar to create a different image.

4. Editing for Front Cover I decided to use this photo for my front cover. I then started the editing by cropping the photo.

5. Editing for Front Cover One of the reason I chose to shoot the photos inside, was the editing. This made it easier to get the right colours I wanted. I increased the contrast and the temperature of the image on Microsoft photo viewer.

6. Editing for Front Cover This is what my final front cover looks like. I used the colours to match with the edited photo. The fact that I am alone in the photo also links in with this idea of guitar solos and rock.

7. Photos I took more photos for other parts of my project such as my content page. I decided to take my photos indoor , because I would edit them anyway.

8. Photos I decided to use this for my content page photo. I decided to edit it by cutting myself out of the photo, to put it on a plain surface.

9. Editing for my Content Page I decided to edit my photo on “Indesign”, I started by drawing around the photo, then I cropped out the shape. This gave me the final result the shape of my body out side the original background.

10. Editing for my Content Page However I found that my photo looked out of place and the tone and colours of the skin did not go well I therefore increased the colour temperature and the contrast to make the photo look more life like. Before After

11. Editing for my Content Page This is my final content page I used the same font and colour as my masthead to write the heading, to create a link with the two. The text box are also similar, the orange box is also used to attract attention and to create a frame. I kept this content page clear to make it look more relaxing and interesting.
