I used a range of different skills on photoshop to complete my magazine. I used alot of layers so everything i put on the front was on a layer so if anything went wrong it could be deleted without deleting everything i had done. I used text control to add text to my front cover and used masthead and captions on the image like a proper magazine front cover. I used this to make the text closer together and add more control over the text on different layers so I could change the look of some of the letters so they were not all the same. I used a filter on my photo to make it stand out more and make it look brighter.
I used shape creation to make shapes go on my front cover and make them have eye catching colours and an interesting quote inside. I used resolution setting control so i used 300 pixels per inch before opening the document so it was clear and had a more professional feel. I used the cropping tool to crop the image if there was a light in the background appearing through if i didn't want it there. Clone tool was used to make the skin all over the same so i copied it and applied it to the correct space. Other skills I used were bevel and emboss to change the colours and different filters on the image and also on the text. I used the heal brush tool to cover a sport or imperfection on my image so it looked perfect.
On my final piece i changed some of the shapes around and added some more to my front cover so it became more appealing to my target audience, I also made text larger and smaller.
