2. I will show all of the stages that I will go through in order to get the
image to how it looks on the magazine for my background.
This is the background that I had used in the magazine. The colours were
very bright so I used the programme fireworks so that I could make the
background a little less potent so that the images and the rest of the cover
will stand out from the background.
To do this I had to click on the image and then I had to use the
transparency button and increase the transparency to make it easier to
see all of the images. I did this so that the image was just about visible.
This is the image I then used in my magazine. I have duplicated this so
the are lots of small circles instead of like a few big ones. When I put
this image onto the magazine you can see the fonts and things over
the top of the background.
4. I will show all of the stages that I will go through in order to get the image to how it looks on
the magazine for my main image.
This is the original image that I took. I will now show you the steps that I have taken to make the
image what I wanted to include in the magazine. I have taken it a spot that has as much white in it
as possible so it is easier to edit, however, I wanted the image to have a transparent background.
I have used the magic wand tool to get rid of the background. I have done
this so that the background will be plain on the magazine. I have used this
tool as it gets rid of the unwanted space almost immediately and I have
used it as much as I could. However, it does need smoothing off to make
the finish better and in some cases you cannot use it without taking away
some of the picture.
When I got rid of all of the bit of the background that I could with the magic wand
tool, I had to then use the eraser to get rid of all of the bits that were left to give me
a clear image. This will also allow me to make the image a lot more effective in the
product and the eraser is that tool that will get rid of the straggled ends the most
effectively.
This is the final image that I will use as the main focal point on the front cover of my magazine. I
have done it so that it can be put on any background and still be effective, and make it look as
though the image was taken in front of a white background.
6. For all of the images that I have in the double page spread I have
repeated the steps of the previous image and then have added
some additional effects.
This is the original image that I have taken. I have done the steps
stated in the text above.
To make the image look like the one below, I have
altered the brightness and the contrast to make it
more effective and to burn it out more. I have then
also altered the hue and saturation of the images
and will be explained in the next slide. I have not
done as much with the hue and saturation as in
other photos.
To get the crackled effect in the image I have
added a noise to the image. I think that this has
allowed the image to stand out against the
other two that I have put in the magazine.
This is the final image that I will use in double page in the
magazine.
7. This is the original image that I
have taken. I have repeated all of
the steps in the last two slides
with this photo, but I have added
changes to the hue and saturation
to make the photo a different
colour.
This is the process whereby I have changed
the hue and saturation. I have just adjusted
the colours to make it look like the one
below.
This is the final image that I will use
in my magazine double page spread.
