1. Editing using Photoshop
I’ve been using Adobe
Photoshop a lot to edit my
photos of Beverley. I’ve used
various tools to improve the
appearances of the photographs
and to make it look more
professional for a music
magazine.

2. This is the original photo I took for my
double page spread. I was really
pleased with the photo and was
planning on placing text down the left
hand side. However in some areas the
font wasn’t clear and was difficult to
read.
To fix this issue I decided to edit the
photo on Photoshop and make one
half of the image blurred. This has
made it easier to read the text as
well as adding quite an unusual
effect to the image.

3. This is the basic layout of my double
page spread. Without the text you can
tell that certain objects and features in
the image could effect the text.
Now that I’ve blurred the image you can
tell that text will be much clearer as the
blurred effect as dulled the bright
colours from the sea and her shoes.

4. I was using the ‘Patch Tool’
tool to remove any random
bits of hair that were sticking
up.
I also removed any impurities
such as spots using the ‘Spot
Healing’ tool.

5. I wanted Beverley to overlap
my title ‘Promo’ as it looks
professional. So I needed to cut
around her hair so I could keep
the front cover image in the
same place but place her hair
over the title.

6. I tired various methods to remove
the black graffiti in the photo
because it made it hard to read
the black text.
