This is the basis of my magazine cover, shown without the image
in order for me to see how well it worked with the conventions of a
magazine cover. By removing the image, it could be apparent to me
whether or not the font/colour of the text was appropriate.
As this is a film magazine, I used a film strip to put the title
in. This would be something the audience would recognise when
buying the magazine. By having recognisable front cover
conventions, audiences are more likely to remember it and it
becomes more attractive.
To attract audiences, I used a colour overlay at the top of the
magazine to promote a free poster of a popular new film. By using
the shadow underneath the text, it highlights the promotion of the
poster and is therefore more ye-catching. I did this by right using
the colour overlay feature.
Whiten the teethAs a way to make the photograph look more
presentable, I use a tool to whiten the teeth of my actors. I
selected the lasso tool in the toolbar and then drew around the
part that I wanted to change. After selecting the teeth, I clicked
Hue/Saturation. I selected the colour yellow in the dropbox and
then kept Hue the same level but moved the saturation more to the
left side to produce a whiter shade.
Removing Blemishes To remove the blemishes, I selected the
healing brush and then used the Spot Healing Brush Tool. I
decreased the hardness from 100% to 85% and kept the diameter quite
low as there werent many blemishes to fix.
