Production - Front Cover

Here i will show and give evidence of the ways in which i was able to make my front cover for my school magazine.

I started off by taking a picture of my student in medium-close-up in the area that i wanted him to be.
























I then opened the same picture onto photoshop so that i would be able to put text and other pictures onto it and i would do this by using different layers.

I then took a picture of the school crest which is located on our school gates at the entrance to the school. Once again i opened the picture onto photoshop, this is so i can manipulate the image and take out the background and then just have the crest which i would then put on the other picture with the student on. I used the tool called 'Magnetic Lasso', which means that i can outline the school crest perfectly and get rid of the background surrounding it. I then moved the school crest onto the picture of the student, made a new layer for it, re-sized it and then placed it in the bottom right-hand corner.













The next step was adding the all important text to the front cover. I did this by adding text box's in the appropriate areas, on new layers and then selecting the font style, colour and size.
