Final pages

This is my front cover for my school magazine. Here you can see the image of my classmate and the images of the kids used as a background. I got a dozen chenderit students to run down the hill screaming at me while I took their picture. I used a variety of fonts here, cracked, impact, and georgia. I used red and white for the text as it relates to the school colors and it is easy to read. I have placed my mast head in the centre in-front of the image, I really wanted the text behind the arms of the kids, for this I would have had to cut the arms from the image then placed them directly over the old arms of the original image.

This is my contents page, for my school magazine. I created the background, which I am most pleased with, using photoshop, I stared by coloring the the background grey and used artistic tools, mosaic, to create the grid style. I then placed a text box over the grid and typed my text. I used white and red which relate to the front page, the school colors and they are easy to read with the black background, I created the black background by editing the text box and filing it in with black. I then created a glow, in back which fades the black out. I did a similar thing with the contents title. I created a glow 'red' and increased the radius to 3 cm.

Here is one of the images used on the front cover, I have used my classmate to pose as a Britain's got talent winner. I have photoshopped her face using curves, levels, brightness and contrast, the plaster tool and the dodge tool. I also used the paint brush to bring out the red in her cheeks. I have placed her over the top of a background created my using 'artistic tools' and selecting mosaic. I also used the gradient tool to create the circular patterns in the top and bottom corners. I blurred around the face, emphasizing the point of interest, which is her face.
