Editing photos and putting magazine together

I used photoshop to edit my pictures and most of the images below. I used the magic wand, lasso, magnetic lasso and the quick selection tool to make the background transparent so when I transfer thehimagae to Illustrator I can add a background of my choice if I wanted.

On this image I used the rubber tool to make the background transparentb on some areas where the other tools could'nt detect.

I have almost finished making all the background of the image transparent.

On this picture I was making my contents page and I was almost finished putting it all together.

This is the finished copy of my double page article draft, as you can tell it was inspired by the Nicki Minaj article below. I took the idea of having the same colour background and having the text going round the image as the Nicki Minaj article.

I've almost finished the front cover draft on this print screen shot, on this image im changing the font size and colour of one of the puffs.

This one of the finished drafts that I have done.

5th and 6th front magazine cover with white and pink background

On theres magazine cover I just changed the background to white and pink on the two different imaged cover. I wanted it to see which colour looked better with the image.

4th draft of front cover

I changed the image on this cover.

3rd front mag draft

The background colour is different and the central image.

3rd draft of my contents page

This is the 3rd draft of my contents page. I removed one of the pictures and replaced it with another and I moved the contents page details to the bottom.

Edited picture using Picnik

I was experimenting with the website Picnik and i created this edited picture. I air-brushed it and added make up to the face also I changed the eye colour to grey. I think this website is really good but I dont like the image as it looks face and makes the whole concept of the photo fake.

Second draft of my music magazine

This is the second draft of my music magazine. I've put a background on it to make it look less tacky and cheap. I also added more pictures to the contents page.

Manipulated photos

I have experimented with different coulours and and editing to use on my photographs. I mainly edited my fron magazine cover image to test these techniques out.

On this imageI blured the colours and made it look fuzzy and a bit old fashioned. I don't really like this editing because it does'nt go with the genre of my magazine.

I made this image black and white but I rubbed out the black and white effect on the models face and dress so we could see the true colours. also, as its a pop music magazine the colours need to be bright and vibrant.

On this image I made the lips and dress more brighter and I made the eyebrows and hair darker so the pink doesnt over power the face. I dyed the whole image in pink several times and rubbed out everything back to its normal colour apart from the dress and lips. After making the lips and dress brighter I though that it over powered the face so I thought I should make the hair and eyebrows darker so, I dyed the picture to black several times and rubbed out everything apart from the hair and eyebrows.

This picture has a vintage look, I think it looks really good as it makes her face stand out but it doesnt suit my magazine.

I was just experimenting with this picture to see how to change the background.

On this picture everything is black and white apart from the face as I rubbed out the face so you can see the original face colour and so it stands out.

Second draft of front cover

This is very similar to my first draft for my front cover but I changed some of the coverlines on this one and the size of them. Also I removed the page numbers and put a background on the magazine cover.

Second draft of Double page article

This is the second draft of my double page article. I used a double page article about Nivki Minaj for inspiration.

First draft of double page article for my music magazine

This is the first draft of my double page article for my music magazine. I did the editing of the photos on Photoshop and I did the article on Illustrator. My first draft of my double page article doesn't really look appealing as it's quite plain. It also doesn't look very professional. It's unconventional for the image to be stretched across the page and the images both contrast eachother as one is feminine and looks sewwt and the other one looks more masculine and agressive. I'll have to add a background to improve the appearance of my article and possibly change one of the images
