How to edit your front page photo

 

Front page pitch

I decided to start creating my front page first. I have decided to do this on Adobe's Photoshop as this is what most magazine use to change photos and even make their magazine on. Photoshop is an easy application to use and lets you do some great things to pictures. I want to create my front page first as it will be the starting block to experiment with colour schemes, designs and the layout of my magazine. I will follow my flat plan and also my style model for ideas and to use a guide line.

THE Photo

After looking through all my photos and narrowing them down to 4, I have finally made my decision for the front page photo.

 

I chose this photo as I have decided to make the fist stand out on the front page. I did this for dramatic effect to make it look like it is 3D, coming out of the page.

Before taking my photos

Before I could even take my photo's I had to plan out what poses that I wanted my models to do and what clothes I actually wanted them to wear. As 'Kai Turner' is an indie artist I wanted him to wear popular indie clothing from lines such as Pretty Green and Fred Perry. I wanted him to look casual and cool.
I took my photographs for the front cover in the schools studio, where we had a green screen set up with professional lighting for us to use. The lighting took quite a lot of fiddling to make sure that there was not going to be any green reflecting onto my models and that the photos weren't blurry or too dark for me to edit.

Model

Yesterday I started to take photos for my music magazine. I used the school studio to take a few photos, the photo for my front page will be from here.

 

I used one of my friends for the main story of my magazine. He will star on the front page and double page article.
