Evidence of manipulation of images

1. Evidence of Manipulation of
Images

2. Today I began to create my front cover for my music
magazine. I started off with a screenshot of my masthead,
and eventually manipulated the image using tools such as
magic wand, selection tool etc. to create a front cover for a
music magazine. Today I learnt about how images represent a
genre.
Adding text over a image

3. Change of background colour
These screenshots show how I changed an image to make it
more suited to my genre. I adjusted the colour of the
background to make the main image pop out and more eye-
catching. I also used it to make the image match the genre. I
also zoomed in on her picture to make the audience focus on
her better.

4. Transforming the masthead
This screenshot shows how I transformed the masthead from
normal black sans serif text into a version filled with a different
colour using ‘colour overlay’ and added a stroke using the ‘stroke’
tool under the ‘fx’ tab.

5. Using skew to slant the words
I used the skew transformation by clicking on ‘edit’
in the toolbar at the top and then ‘transformations’
and then ‘skew’. I then adjusted the text and gave it
the slant that made it look good.

6. Manipulating image to fit in puff
I used the ‘crop’ tool to crop the image, the ‘eraser’ tool to crate the curve at the
bottom to make it fit the puff, and also used the ‘magic wand’ to delete all the
unwanted background.

7. Manipulating image to fit in puff
• I did the same to this image to get it to fit
inside the puff to promote their ‘posters’

8. Contents Page:
This screenshot shows how I added the contents title to my contents page. It
also shows how I changed it t fit the colour scheme of the front page. Again, I
did this using ‘colour overlay’ and ‘stroke’.

9. Manipulation of main image on
contents page:
These screenshots show that I manipulated the main image on the
contents page by removing the background using the ‘magic wand’
tool and added a gradient.

10. 2nd picture of Runa
From these screenshots, you can see that I cropped a picture of a model using
the ‘crop’ tool to fit the box that the text about her was going to be written in.
I also removed the background using the ‘magic wand’ tool.

11. Flipping the main image
I flipped my main image by going on ‘edit’, ‘transformation’ and then clicking ‘flip
horizontal.’ I did this because the images were too close together and didn’t look
aesthetically pleasing.

12. Double Page Spread
Evidence of manipulation of images
Here I have slanted a word in my headline
by changing the horizontal degree from 0 to
16.

13. Rotating text
I have also changed the rotation of the
words ‘becoming an’ because I felt It looked
better this way. It also allows everything to
fit on the two sides.

14. • Other than this I didn’t do much manipulation
on the double page spread because the main
image did not need editing and I have done
enough manipulation on the front cover and
contents page.
