Images and Image editing

Images edited - Experimentation


I used the Quick selection tool here on Photoshop to select the outline of the body, then i deleted the background, i then refined the edge so it looked more realistic by using the feather tool and then smoothed the edges down with the smooth tool. I then decided to experiment with the brightness and contrast tools but i decided to go with more of a neutral tone as this worked well with my colour range.


I then wanted to experiment further by using the "channel mixer tool so i could incorporate more greens, blues or reds. I liked this because it is not too over dramatic and gives a warm feeling. I like the use of the shadow which was there when i actually took the picture, but i like how it looks like the shadowing has been edited.

fonts for magazine

These are some of the fonts i may use on my final magazine. i think these relate to my niche audience the magazine it directs at due to the sans serif modern looking font and the colour range or pattern i'm using which is different for each one. i wanted to use flowers and a hypnotist like pattern for 2 of them as this makes it look abit different to the normal designs on magazine which are usually a basic font. if i were to use a font with a pattern like this i would have to undersize everything else on the front colour such as the tagline and teasing features for example.
