Lo4: evidence of editing

This is how I edited my masthead once I had typed the text out.

To start I used the horizontal type tool to create a text box to type out my masthead then I used the arrow keys on my keyboard to position the text where I wanted it. once I had finished this I didn't like how the masthead look

against the cover photo so I wanted to give the masthead more dimension.

To created more dimension in my masthead I when into layer styles and effects. once I was was in there I created a custom inner shadow. I did this by changing the colour from black to pink a colour that matches the colours in the photo. I also changed the angle and distance  

this allowed me to get the right distance and angle to allow the text the stranded off the page. I believe that this allowed me to get the effect I wanted too, and it has improved the look of of my magazines front cover.  

This is who I created the individual cut outs of each band member for my double page spread. 

First I imported my photo into photoshop and unlocked the image to allow me edit the image.  

Once I had adde the image in I selected the tool that will allow me to cut out what I I do not want to use. To use the laso tool I slowly drag my cursor around the edge of the figure. I chose to cut out the image messily to match the style of the band.  

Once it had fully cut my image out I selected my image and them use command and "C" to copy my image. Then Went on to my double page spread. 

Then I went on to my double page spread.  used command and"V" to pasted the image on the the document. Then I resized the image so it fitted it to he space. 

   

I want the edited this image by making it more opaque so that the text that will be over layer can be read much more easily. 

I imported the image into photo shop to start and unlocked the image so it is able to be edited. 

I used the rectangle tool to create a a black rectangle over the image. 

I chose to make the background opaque using this technique because wanted the image to turn lighter rather than lighter. I did this by adding a black overlay and the turning down the opacity allowing the image to show through. 

After I have finished this the text the much easier to read and now the text looks separate the the image. and the image is not the focus of the page but it is still visible.
