My Front Cover

I chose the idea of my magazine and I wanted it to look like a vibe magazine, the layout, but possibly not the picture. Here was the start of the editing process of my front cover photo.

1. Here was the photo i chose to go on my front cover. I changed the contrats brightness and used the clone tool, to get rid of the spots and moles on his face.


2. I then cut around the picture carefully using the magic wand. When you do this it makes it look like its been cut out, well it has but we dont want that to happen. So I next used the blur tall to make it look like i hadnt cut it out.


3. After i found a grey bakcground on the internet and copied and pasted onto photoshop, then typed in the title and the font i wanted on DAFONT, which i print screened and pasted onto photoshop, then added other things such as the 'jack lorrence' the barcode and 'THE REAL RAP'.


4. I then got more text off of dafont and pasted it onto photoshop, placed it where I wanted.


5. After I added the final touches of the text and other pictures, also the price, date and i used the 'T' tool to write to0uch such as the text at the bottom and at the top and now it is finished!

Heres the start of another front cover I came up with. First i start by taking a picture and editing on photoshop. cropping, rubbing out, editing contrast and brightness, also cutting around the image, blurring etc.


After doing the editiing I go the grey background off of google, then i placed it behind the image and title. So the title i got off of DAFONT, once i fonud the font I wanted i print screened then pasted it onto photoshop, cropped it and thats how i done this part.
Here ive added in some extra writing, which i go off of dafont. But the top writing, the smaller writing i used the 'T' to write that text at the top .
Here I have just been pracitsing with differet backgrounds and main images. And I just wanted to see which ones worked best. So far I'm not that impressed with any of them, so i will be doing another photoshoot. I dont no whether to go for the urban, graffiti background or the plain gray background which is a bit like 'Q'. But personally I find that quite boring and no very eye catching. The magazine I am planning to imatate is a vibe magazine with eminem on the front.  


Here is my ideal mag, which i plan to copy! except I may make an adjustment to the background
