Skill Development

Front cover before and after

Contents page before and after

From my preliminary task to my main task my skills and knowledge on Photoshop has developed. In the main task I used more useful tools and learnt more effects. I learnt more from studying conventions of magazine covers and I learnt how I can use this to my advance by using Photoshop. I used several tools a useful tool was 'burn and dodge' to get the right lighting on my image. also used gradient to give a light effect been hide the model. Healing brush came in handing to clean up the images making it more clear. I used different layers of effects to come up with a good looking effect on the models.

For my main task I choose a more modern and causal font for the title with some of the letter linking to each other. Also I went for two different fonts for artist names and some coverlines as this makes the outside and see more important and eye-catching. with all my chosen font I used I added a inner shadow and inner light at the top of the letters for a glossy effect.
