Practice double page spread for magazine

This is my practice double page spread for my magazine. I did this on in design so I could get a feel on how to use the software before I come to do my magazine. I used columns so my article could fit into it so i could see how it would look and how the columns should fit. I changed the width and height before i opened the document so I knew my document would  fit right on the new page.(209 and 297) I then got the text tool and dragged the box along my 3 columns, then i began to type into the boxes, this is how I started my header and by doing this it would merge across 3 boxes so my header fit right across. I then went on file and place, i then took a photo from my documents and placed it where i would want it to go, i then changed the display to high quality display so the photo was clear with a glossy effect, then I positioned it into the correct place. I then drew my boxes for my article to fit in a clicked the button at the end of the box so my articles went into each other and followed from one another to carry on the article.

First and Second Person – Informal Register

Plastic surgery is one of the most talked about subjects today by many lads and lasses.  In 2012 39,070 lass had plastic surgery and 4,102 lads gan and got plastic surgery to make us look alright, in this case more selfie’s were being taking by the new population showing of their cosmetic surgeries. We are clamming that by having better bodies we are more confident and more people choose to have banter with us because we are looking better than we did which causes a bit of frisk on a night out to meet new people.  A lot of lasses are choosing to get breast implants to make them more noticeable to lads and they will ignore the haters once they have put them onto a social networking site. Lasses are also getting face/neck lift so look more appealing when it comes to getting a moy on a night out. Lads are getting rhinoplasty so they are looking better for the lasses so they will hopefully pull on a night out.

Third Person – Formal Register

Plastic surgery is one of the most talked about subjects today by many men and women. This subject is always a one to come up in a topic because of all the controversy it comes with, from the ages of 6-year-old children getting their ears pinned back, to women of 30 having double GG boobs. Every one is entitled to how they look but are people taking plastic surgery to the extremes? Plastic surgery comes with a lot of ups and downs for both male and female people. Some people choose to have plastic surgery to boost their self-esteem if they are depressed or purely just if they have wanted something done for a long time. A lot of young women are choosing to have breast implants to boost their confidence and make them happier with themselves, for some people plastic surgery is the only way to boost their happiness. Plastic surgery differs for different people, and depending on what they want and want doing is down to them and if they have the money to pay, shouldn’t people who disagree leave people to get on and choose what they would want to do.

                                                                                                                              

Christmas CD cover brush tool

Made a christmas CD cover by downloading brusheezy tools to add onto the front. I used a range of different layers and different colours.
For my font i used 3D which gave my text a whole different look.

before

In this cross processing photo, this is before and after of what i did. I had to keep making new layers so if anything went wrong i could delete the part with out starting again and deleting everything i have done. I changed the colours and contrast of the photo, and make the photo stand out more by adding different effects to it.

Cross process after

Cross process, no before and after as I saved my cross process over the top of my new file. For my cross process i opened a new document and begin to start on editing the picture, first of all i would start a new layer each time to make sure if anything went wrong i could delete it and wouldn't have to delete everything, so i could just go back in steps with out starting the whole cross process again. I would then add a new adjustment layer and change the way the picture looked and changed the colour and make the picture stand out.

Heal Brush Tool

Zoe before she has had photoshop used on her

This is zoe after she had the heal brush tool used on her, this tool is used to get rid of spots and wrinkles and in this case we used it to get rid of her spots.
We have to put the image on a new photoshop document then make a new layer so we could delete things if we needed to if we had gone wrong, and by creating a new layer lets you delete if you need to.
You have to click alt on a piece of clear skin and then the mouse over the sport and you have to repeat this every time you do this.
