WIll's Front Cover Mockup

I have tried to make my mock-up simple yet stand out. I want it to be clear what the mesage is. I have used a large main image and placed in central. I have tried to make the masthead stand out. I also placed the anchor text near the image to show that it relates to the main image.

We want to use one image on the front of our magazine to make sure that they are the main focus, as we looked at other rock magazines and decided we didn't like the other images on the front cover. We are also using a lot of sell lines as well feel they are very eye catching. We are also using a skyline, as we want to make it as proffesional as possible.

When thinking about how to put my front page of my magazine together I decided to take into consideration how professional magazines would put theirs together to get the desired effect. The barcode would be placed in the bottom corner and would be as small as possible so that it doesn't take any attention away from the main view point of the magazine, things such as skyline's, mastheads and sell lines would be very necessary as this would help to fill the cover of the magazine so that it doesn't look to bare.

Fran's Edited Cover Photo

Here i have cropped the photo and added black tights onto the girl on the right. I have made the picture brighter to make a more professional finish. I have also edited the girl in the middle to create a more defined waist, as well as using the healing tool to give all the whole bands skin a smoother finish. I have edited each girls eyes to make them stand out more and when i put onto my actual magazine I will get rid of the shadow surrounding them.

I am really happy with this photo now i have edited it. I edited the photograph using photoshop. I used brightness and contrast to make the photo look brighter overall. I feel that now it looks brighter it looks more professional and is more interesting to look at. I think that this will look good on the front of my magazine. I also edited the skin tone of the models faces using the healing brush and reduced the glare on Will's glasses using Iphoto. Now i have edited these things i think that it looks more professional and the photograph is of a higher standard.

After applying all of the techniques I planned to do in photoshop I feel that this photo is much more professional and worthy for the front cover of a magazine. The clothes stand out more as do the lips and the hair, the whole background is white and they take up the whole frame which purely makes them the subject.
