Lesson 10 - Editing the images and creating the first draft of my magazine.

19th October

I decided that I wanted to emphasise some of the colour in the image before I added in the text. First of all, I added a grey colour to the overall image. I did this because I felt that it would then allow the other colours to stand out more. In the original photo, the make up of the two scare characters was very faded. I then added an effect to their faces so that the white and black colours were stronger, as well as the blood.
I added a colour to the eyes of the school girl character. I felt that it would add more of a scary look to the magazine.

I added text to the magazine front cover and this is what I created for my first draft:



I went on to analysing this magazine for features that I could improve. First of all, I liked the font of the title, however the "wood" part of the word was faded and it wasn't that visable. I decided that I wanted this text and fading to make it look as if it is part of the image.
The next part that I decided that I needed to change was "Beaverwood School for". This is because it is on a white background and isn't that visable.
After getting feedback from classmates, I agreed with them that I have added too much text to the magazine. Seeing as there is a lot going on in the picture, the reader will focus on that instead of looking at the unwanted text on the front.
