Process Of Film Magazine Production...

This is the original image.

I wanted to edit this because there is too much light at the side and you can see the stairs and a radiator. I wanted to just make this plain black so that "the man" really stands out.

 

I used the gradient tool on photoshop edit out the edges of the image.

I then repeated this using black to get the colour and effect I wanted.

For the title, I inserted the text into another photoshop document.

I then used the magic tool to delete the backround of the image.

 

I repeated this on areas that were not picked up.

I then dragged the text onto my background image.

I inserted a skyline, achorage text, the issue number and date, and the barcode and price.

Lastly I added sell lines to my magazine cover.

 

So far I am pleased with the results as this is my first draft, but audience feedback will inform me of how I can improve it.
