Photoshop

I used quiet a few tools on Photoshop I used fill tools and changed the letter fonts and the colours by using boss and changing the light on the words. The font i used was called script MT bold. I was adding shadows and making sure that the words did not get lost in the background. I changed the back ground to sepia this was so it fit well with the colours I was using and didn’t stand out too much. Although the model was the main subject of the magazine I wanted the lettering to have quiet a big part in the front cover. I used new layers so I could add a bar code and also I have tried to make the background have a better contrast. I found most of it easy to use as I did a lot of it in graphics but I got a bit confused trying to change it to sepia. I thought my text was well controlled and I added angles on to it to make it more energetic. I did not cut out any images. I added drop shadows on my words and I did this by going to edit and picking drop shadow and I made it big and I could put it where I wanted to.

I did not download any fonts although I wanted to a found a nicer one in the fonts that were already there in word. I used reds, whites, blacks and browns I thought these three colours went well together because they contrast well. I would if I could improve it I would try to take some of the colour from the picture and add it to the back ground also the lay out would have been different if I had took the picture a little bit further a way. It looks very similar to my flat plan but it is not the same. I thought it strengths were that it was bold and could be read easily but it was not to crowded I think I my target audience would be happy with this magazine front cover.
