This document describes the steps taken to edit a photo in Adobe Photoshop. It involves opening Photoshop, importing an image, removing the green background using the magic eraser tool, and then placing the edited image along with other characters onto a billboard layout. Text was then added to the billboard using the text tool. The process also included creating a magazine cover by exporting the edited images as JPEGs and compiling them in Microsoft Publisher.

1. QUESTION FOUR
Using Adobe Photoshop.

2. STEP ONE:
Firstly, I had to open Adobe Photoshop and
start a new project. I was able to change the
page size and style of the page (e.g.
Colour, black and white, or grey) so I kept the
style as colour and changed the page size so
it was equivalent to an portrait A4 (297 x 210
mm) page.
This is the A4 page I opened to begin my
editing on Photoshop.

3. STEP TWO:
I then opened the image I wanted
to Photoshop. I chose to use
Photoshop as I can easily edit the
photo to the standard that I want. I
have previously used Photoshop
so I knew what I was doing when
it came to removing the green
background and editing the photo.
I chose to use this photo of Kieran
as he is looking smug and his
facial expression and attitude
reflects the personality of the
character.

4. STEP THREE:
Next, I used the magic eraser tool
to remove the green background.
This was a simple task as I
already knew what I was doing
and it got rid of the background in
a few simple clicks of the mouse.
Removing this background
enabled me to do the same for the
rest of my characters so that I
could put them all together on my
front cover and billboard.

5. STEP FIVE:
I decided to create my
billboard through Photoshop
as it was easier for me to
position everything this way.
Once I had photo-shopped
all my actors I then placed
them all on one page and re-
sized them to how I wanted
them to appear on my
billboard.

6. STEP SIX:
I then added the text using the
small icon ‘T’ to anchor the text
over my stars.
I also added the E4 logo by
doing the same thing as the
actors and taking away the
background. I then put on the
institution website to make my
billboard look professional and
too create a strong brand
identity.

7. STEP SEVEN:
Lastly, for my billboard I used the
Union Jack flag from Google and
placed it in the background of my
work. This was simple as I just
copied and pasted it in and then
dragged it too layer one to make
it go behind everything else.

8. STEP EIGHT:
For my magazine front cover, I
saved the images as a JPEGs so
I could then open them in
Microsoft Publisher along with to
begin to create my magazine front
cover and my final billboard.
