Choosing the Cover Photo

After filtering the images I want to use in my magazine, I'm left with two very strong contenders for my magazine cover and one image which isn't as aesthetically pleasing but might fair well after being gray-scaled. To help visualise how the elements of my magazine (especially the cover lines) will look paired with said images I've decided to contrast the pictures with the diagrams I made in my mock ups and sketches post.
I did this with the help of Photoshop by overlaying both layers and decreasing the opacity of the pictures so the elements and their localisation can be seen.




Out of these three, I felt the first option was the best fit for my vision, due to not only the look it captured of the model but also how elements such as the cover lines were not being disrupted by the subject of the picture. However, the reflected rainbow will now be reflected upwards to fill in the gap and for prominence.

"The Beginning is Always Today" Forlorn, a girl stares out the window, unseeing. This world bores her. So she makes a new one. And then another. And another. And another. And another. That girl is me. Today marks the birth and creation of my blog which's purpose is to keep a record of the progress I've made on my foundation portfolio. Being seventeen and deeply intoxicated with the art of story telling and sharing said stories with the masses through a medium which brings us all together, taking Media Studies in my A levels was a natural choice.  Along with Psychology, Literature in English and History, it evolves my understanding of people and aids me in my aspiration of telling an exciting tale; mine. I look forward to telling you more about my project as it progresses and myself.  Keep reading!

Software To edit the cover picture for my final task, and creating the magazine cover itself, I'll be using Adobe Photoshop. This the software I used and practiced for my preliminary tasks and am therefore comfortable with the software, making it an apt choice. My acquaintance with the tools available and their location in the software only further aids my decision. I can foresee myself using certain tools like gray scale and the poly lasso tool which is going to help me refine the look of my magazine, bringing it to the standard of my target market. I look forward to my creative endeavors.
