7.Photo Editing

This is the edited image for my front cover using PhotoShop.

I feel that this matches my colour theme of my front cover as behind the picture it is a white background. To make it striking I added coloured text that matches the event ie. bright, fluorescent and colourful. I also really like this image because its looking directly to the reader and enticing them read and find out where this was taken!

I had a lot of fun taking my photographs and experimenting however I feel a little tight on photos so I might take a few more and decide later. I like the lighting and the fact the image is showing most of his face, reflects on my preferred audience of parties and gigs and drinking.

This is the edited image that will be the background for the double page spread. I toned the brightness down slightly and the contrast up, and desaturated it half way in PhotoShop to give the image a more edgier and grittier appeal to reflect the music artist. Weirdly enough, after I shot this photograph, I looked up images of Jamie T (who a similar artist in the genre of music Nathon P plays) and there was a photograph that looked very similar!

I edited this image further and got rid of the wallpaper as it didn't match the 'Rock 'n' Roll' theme I wanted to convey. I used the patch tool to move the small designs on the wallpaper but kept the clock as it fits in with the lyrics of the song.

The grey/dullness of the image fits in with the rest of the colour theme of the whole magazine.

I think this issue is more aimed towards men however as the colours and all the pictures contain men and have a masculine feel. This wasn't how I planned to have the images however, in order for it to all work I had to make slight changes. Although, the artist will appeal to both men and women as the fanbase for Jamie T is mixed.

However, this image is very bright and a different setting to my image so that's why I decided to make it look darker and mirror the theme of colours on my double page spread.
