Everything i used and did to complete my magazine cover...

Alot of the techniques i used for my poster, i used for my magazine cover too.

Like my poster i had to use a digital camera to take the picture's for my magazine.
These are the pictures i used:

These two picture's together form the main image of my magazine cover.

These are the two pictures i used to advertise other films coming out.













The Tools and techniques i used and where:

• Magnetic lasso tool-to cut around the picture's i used, and then coped and pasted them onto my main magazine.
• Frame's & Backgrounds-I used the ready background called 'Patina' that was in the frame's and background bit in photoshop.
• Text- there's lots of text on my magazine which are all of different colours, fonts and size. The 'Love' is in the font blackadder. I put it in this font because it was swirley which is a typical style to write the word love. The 'Hurts' is in the font chiller. I put it in this font because it look's like it's been written in blood. The two different font's help get across the two different side's to the man. Most the other writting is in the font bookman which was chosen because it's quite formal.
• Adjusting lighting- I adjusted the colour, lighting and contrast on every picture on my magazine to make them as clear as possible and make them stand out.
• Artwork- I used alot of different already existing shapes from photoshop on my magazine cover. I used the star shape to get the five stars under the title of the film. I also a bunny shape, to make it look like the boy from the film twelve again was drawing it on to the magazine. This was sussposed to be a fun, loving family film which was helped put across by the boy messing about. Then i used 3 'crop' shapes which are placed behind the advertisement's. I lowered the opacity on these, so there weren't a solid block of colour. Lastly i used two other crop shapes that look like splatter's. I placed these behind some text on the magazine, then turned them the red and lowered the opacity again. this make it look like blood splatter's, although iv made them so there not really obvious.
• Eyedropper tool- Iused this so i could get all the crop shapes the same colour and also the blood splatters.
