For
my magazine assignment I decided to start off by brainstorming all the
things I wanted to be on the cover. Next, I did a rough sketch on a
piece of paper to see how all of my components would fit together. After
I went onto the computer to to pick out the right background for my
cover. Then I had Emily to take a portrait picture of me and took that
picture and put into the computer.
The first thing I did the the picture was get rid of all the background and i enhanced my photo by playing aroung with the colours. Then I went to dafont.com to pick out fonts the will compliment my cover. I pressed the print screen botton and then transfered it into photoshop. After getting rid off all the white space I place the word as to where I wanted it in the cover. The last thing I did was put a barcode and the price of the magazine.
I decided to make a second magazine for fun and for marks. I went on
Google and searched for magazine covers to get an inspiration. I chose
one that I liked the most so that it would be more enjoyable to re
create. The process of this magazine was quicker than my first magazine
cover because of the way I had accomplished it. The way I did my second magazine cover was:
Step 1- I made the backgound similar to the original by making a white rectangle shape at the top
Step 2- I took the pictures needed for my cover
Step 3- I got rid of all the background space and placed the photo into photoshop
Step 4- To create the effect of the rips I used the brush tool
Step 5- I went to dafont.com and print screened all the the words I needed for my cover
Step 6- I place each word into photo shop and tried to make it complement each other
Step 7- Lastly I plave the barcode
For our movie poster assignment themed Sargent Park I decided to replicate the repentance movie poster. At first I took pictures of the people who are going to be in the poster. To make editing easier, I made them stand in front of a green screen. I then took those pictures to adobe Photoshop and each picture was edited separately. Individually the pictures were edited so that it is black and white, and given the effect of bold and dark with brushes that was designed to look like dust and also some water paint brushes to make is look like it is been foggy. After I have edited all the pictures I then put all the images in one document. I imitated the rips on the original poster to my own to make it more alike. After I added a whitish-yellow colour to my rips to make is more convincing. Adding on I painted the background the same or closest colour as that of the original. Lastly put the title and the names of the people in the images.

For this assignment i have chosen to do a reflected photo and made it seem as if it was a painting. To achieve this I started off by adding a layer and placing my photo in. Then I used the lasso tool to outline the mountain in the picture and deleted the everything else except the mountain. After I clicked the "filter" then "Artistic" found in the top bar. You can choose which ever style you would like you own photo to be. I had chosen the "Film Grain" to complement my image. Once I had chosen my style, on the left there will be a bar where you had the option to change the brush size an sharpness of the image. Moving on I then duplicated my slide which contained the edited mountain, on the duplicated slide I rotated it to a 180 degree angle and flipped I horizontally by right clicking the mouse and lined the image where the reflection line would be. Now on to the background. The background is quite easy to obtain. First I went to the background layer.All I really had to do is go to the brush tool and chose which brush style and color to do and added it to the picture. The more I clicked the darker the color became making it look much prettier that just having the plain solid colored background.
