use of photo shoop

1. For the front cover of my magazine, I chose this image
because the background was grey and fit into my colour
scheme and also the lighting on the artist really made her
make up stand out which complimented her clothing and
also the clothing stood out as well which would make my
magazine be more noticeable to my target audience but
also this would allow my audience to relate to the artist
due to the fact it is similar clothing what the females in of
my target audience would wear.
I started off using the transformation tool in Photoshop to
make the back ground bigger in order to fit into the page
and the healing brush in order to make my the artist have a
really clear complexion.
However in my feedback for my first draft, I
was advised to crop the image to show less
of her clothing as it made my magazine look
like a clothing magazine instead of a R&B
magazine.
This image was cropped to show less of the
clothing but I didn’t change anything else to
the image in Photoshop.

2. I used this image because it was a mid shot of the main
artist and showed a lot of her clothing that would
relate to the text on the double page spread this
clothing would cause my target audience to relate to
the artists and therefore be more interested in what
else was in the magazine the grey background also
complimented her dark clothing helping her to stand
out even more to the audience.
I used Photoshop to use the transformation tool to
make the back ground of these images bigger so it
would fit to the page in InDesign. I also used the
healing brush to give the artist a clearer complexion.

3. I chose this image because it is a close up of the main artist
which meant it was clear the text was focused on her to the
audience. I used Photoshop to make this image black and
white as I wanted it to be a faded picture of the artist with
the text and other features over it. It also went well with
my colour scheme. I also used the healing brush to give the
artist a nice clear complexion. To make the back ground
larger, I used the transformation tool, I did this in order for
the whole image to fill both sides of the double page
spread in order to make the actual image of the artist
bigger.
I chose this image because it represented both genders
which meant it appealed to everyone in my target
audience. Both people are wearing clothes that relate to
the text and are similar clothing to what those of my
target group would wear, meaning they can relate to the
artists and therefore be intrigued by my magazine. I used
Photoshop to also make this image back and white
because I also wanted this image to be faded in the back
ground with the text over lapping it. I also used
Photoshop to crop out unwanted objects in the image
and the transformation tool to make the back ground
bigger in order to fit perfectly to the page in InDesign
and also the healing tool to give the artists clearer
complexions.
