PHOTOSHOP

 

This is a front cover I created when learning how to use aspects of Photoshop. I didn't take time thinking about fonts and coverlines and images, however I would like my actual magazine cover to have a similar layout where the main image is slightly infront of the title. To give this effect, I zoomed in closely and erased parts of the font, to give the effect that it is behind the image. I could have done this using the quick selection tool or magic wand tool, but the colours were too similar so it was difficult. From this, I know to contrast my background and image in my actual magazine to make it easier to create this effect. I like the idea of putting a cover line that is relevant to the image over the image, like above. But like previously stated, I would put more thought into fonts and colours. I added text by using the text tool on photoshop, however had to upload the images and also change the resolution - so when printed, the quality of the images remains clear. Like the above, it is likely that I will place essential information like the barcode in the bottom corner, as this is where it is usually found.
