MUSIC MAGAZINE FRONT COVER MOCK UP

Here is my mock-up of my magazine front cover, i have done this so i know where to put things when designing my magazine, it will also help me with the layout when designing it.

PHOTOSHOOT

For my main photos i chose a rural location id one this because i like the clear background, i also think it is a good background for my story title which is about a boyband (M4) going home. By saying they are going home and using this setting suggests they come from a rural background which i wanted to create. After my shoot i had a number of pictures to chose from, i deleted some pictures then kept the ones i wanted, i also used Photoshopto edit some of the photos to make them look better.

PHOTOSHOP SKILLS

Above is my original picture that i took when doing my photoshoot. i decided i liked this picture and that i could use it for my magazine, however i thought that it looked a bit to dark and needed brightening up a bit. This was because when the shoot was taken it was around 6'oclock so it was starting to do darkish. in order to make my pciture brighter i used Photo shop where i could change the brightness and contrast of the picture to make it look more effecitve.

Above you can now see the picture after i have used Photoshop to brighten it up. You can now see i have used the brightness tool so i could make the picture brighter which will stand out more on my front cover.
