Using Photoshop to Manipulate My Photos

I didn’t want to change the first image drastically so I decided to make slight changes.

Firstly I cropped the image, cutting out things that weren't relevant such as the plugs and to make it fit better.

Secondly, I went onto image, adjustments and chose auto levels, auto contrast and auto levels

Photography Planning - Part 2

ØFor my feature page I plan to take one long shot like the photo on the leftfrom Vibe magazine.

ØI plan to use a white background and for my model to stand in a similar pose Kelly Rowland or Ciara.

 

 

 

 

Photography Planning

ØFor my contents page I plan to use a variety of shots such as, close ups, mid shots and long shots of my model on stage to create  feeling that the reader is getting an exclusive concert photo’s from buying Encore.

 I used my camera to take these pictures so a could have a variety of pictures to choose from.

 

Ideas for my feature page layout

 

ØFor my double feature page I would like to include a large title in across middle of the two pages “Complex Simplicity”

ØWhen writing my own feature I plan to not include as much writing as the picture shown here.

ØI have chosen to do this because I believe it will keep the reader more interested and I will make for the lesser text with pictures .

 

 

Also, I plan to use other forms of the layout such as the “ NOW” at the top of the image.

 

Production of my contents page

This is the final production or It might be my first draft depending on the feedback I get back. I aim my contents page to have all the conventions of a typical r&b magazine so it looks as authentic as possible.

I also used a font size 12 for the majority of the words

I used a two simple fonts 'Minion Pro and Franklin Demi' As I thought this looked clean cut and professional. It creates a clear and organized and presentable looking page :-)

I used Photoshop to edit the picture for contents page but the red circles show some of the errors I made which I later corrected.
