EVALUATION OFMOVIE MAGAZINE

STEP 1:STILL IMAGE WAS TAKEN BY CAMERA; WE WANTED THIS TO BE FOR OURMAGAZINECOVER

STEP 2:I OPENED UP PHOTOSHOP -> INTERNATIONAL PAPER -> A4. I COPY AND PASTED THE IMAGE ON A BLACK DOCUMENT ON PHOTOSHOP AND I HAD USED FREE TRANSFORM TO GET IT TO THE SIZE I WANTED IT TO BE.

STEP 3:AFTER I HAD GOT THE PICTURE TO MY CHOSEN SIZE; I USED TO SMUDGE TOOL ON THE KILLERS FACE TO MAKE IT MORE CLEAR. I USED A LIGHT SMUDGE SO IT DOESNT MESS UP THE FACE TOO MUCH.SMUDGE

TOOL

STEP 4:AFTER I HAD USED THE SMUDGE TOOL ON THE KILLERS FACE, I WANTED TO MAKE THE FACE MORE BRIGHT AS IT IS QUITE DARK AND IT WOULDNT STAND OUT MUCH IN THE MAGAZINE. SO I DECIDED TO ADJUST THE COLOR AND MAKE THE SATURATION MORE BRIGHTER.

STEP 5:AFTER ADJUCTING THE COLOR OF THE FACE, I WAS HAPPY WITH THE IMAGE FOR THE MAGAZINE SO I DECIDED TO START ON THE TITLE OF THE MAGAZINE. THE TYPE OF FONT I USED FOR MY MAGAZINE TITLE WAS ARIEL. BUT FOR THE TITLE I WANTED TO HAVE A BACKGROUND, BUT I FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO DO ON PHOTOSHOP, SO I DECIDED TO GIVE IT A TRY OUT ON POWERPOINT, AND FROM THERE I CAN ADD IT TO PHOTOSHOP.

STEP 6:AFTER I HAD COMPLETED THE TITLE FOR MY MAGAZINE ON POWERPOINT, I COPY AND PASTED IT TO PHOTOSHOP. I DECIDED TO PUT THE TITLE ON TOP OF THE PICTURE, SO THEREFORE I GOT TO CROP AROUND THE TITLE A LITTLE BIT.

STEP 7:AFTER ADDING MY TITLE, I WAS READY TO ADD OTHER DETAILS ONTO MY MAGAZINE. I STARTED AT THE TOP OF THE MAGAZINE AND WORKED MY WAY DOWN. I USED THE WORD TOOL ON PHOTOSHOP TO WRITE ON TOP OF MY MAGAZINE ‘EXCLUSIVE: JASON SHREW INTERVIEW:’ I EASILY ADJUSTED THE COLOR AND THE FONT SIZE AND HAD DECIDED TO USE THE FONT HAETTENSCHWEILER AND ARIEL THROUGHOUT THE MAGAZINE COVER.WORD

TOOL

STEP 8:AFTER THIS WAS DONE, I STARTED ADDING MORE TEXT ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE MAGAZINE. I EASILY ADJUSTED THE FONT SIZE TO MAKE IT LOOK MORE LIKE A MAGAZINE.

STEP 9:AFTER THIS WAS COMPLETED, I STARTED ADD IN MORE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE FOUND IN THE MAGAZINE. THIS TIME I DECIDED TO INCLUDE INFORMATION ABOUT OUR TEASER TRAILER SO I HAD TAKEN STILL IMAGES, ADJUSTED THE SIZE, ROTATED THEM AND ADDED IN TEXT.

STEP 10:I LOOKED UP IN THE INTERNET FOR A GOOD BARCODE WHICH I COULD ADD TO MY MAGAZINE COVER. ONCE I FOUND THIS I SIMPLY COPY AND PASTED IT INTO PHOTOSOP AND ROTATED IT 90 DEGREES, AND I HAD WRITTEN IN SMALL FONT, THE PRICE OF THE MAGAZINE AND THE ISSUE NUMBER.

STEP 11:THE MAGAZINE LOOKED QUITE FINISHED AFTER I ADDED IN THE BARCODE BUT I THOUGHT THAT IT LOOKED A BIT EMPTY AT THE BOTTOM SO I DECIDED TO ADD IN A LITTLE EXTRA DETAIL. I USED THE SHAPE TOOL TO GET A RECTANGLE AND I ROTATED IT SLIGHTLY AND CHANGED THE COLOR TO GREY SO IT STANDS OUT. AS PHOTOSHOP HAS LAYERS I WAS ABLE TO EASILY PUT THIS BEHIND THE BARCODE AND THE SMALL STILL SHOTS I HAD PLACED ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE. I THEN ADDED TEXT ONTO THE RECTANGLE AND CHANGED AROUND A FEW COLORS.
