The document describes a Photoshop exercise where the student was challenged to create a magazine cover. They chose to recreate the cover of Vogue magazine, using an image of Marilyn Monroe found online. In Photoshop, they gave Marilyn red lips and a cartoon effect using various tools. They layered the original image behind the edited one to create a before and after look. For the poster, they screenshot the magazine cover and added red and black text above and below to promote the issue and highlight the release date.

1. Photoshop Exercise

2. Front Cover
My Photoshop exercise I was challenged to create a
front cover for a magazine of my choice. The
magazine I chose to recreate is the fashion magazine
Vogue, to create the magazine I gathered the Vogue
title and a plain image of Marilyn Monroe off the
internet. In Photoshop I was able to make Marilyn lips
red and give her a cartoon affect by using the tools
provided (the tools are brush tool, rubber and
opacity). I then copied the original image of Marilyn
and put it behind the cartoon version of her, therefore
the dominate image looks like a before and after piece
which I really like and has given me inspiration for my
final image to use for my music magazine. I also added
text and which tells us what will be in this issue of
Vogue things like 20% off River Island and 10 most
popular models. I also included conventions (barcode,
date, number issue) on my magazine so my target
audience can purchase this issue of this magazine.

3. Poster
This is my poster, the aim of the poster job is to
promote this Vogue issue. To create the poster all I
done was screenshot the magazine cover itself and
copied to a blank page in Photoshop. I then added
text using the text tool provided for me in Photoshop
and wrote the text below and above of the magazine
cover. I put the date of the magazine release in red
because Marilyn lips are red and the colour makes
the date stand out, by the date standing out more
people will notice it and then buy that issue. The red
and black colour of the text matches the colours of
the vogue issue.
