Task 14 - Magazine Terminology

Great uses of Photoshop

I was browsing the internet the other day for different Photoshop tutorials when I came across a post on The Fan Art Exhibit Website that showed an incredible use of Photoshop where someone had used Photoshop to turn Marvel's Avengers into Females. The series of posts are entitled "If Women Ruled The World"

College Magazine Contents Page

Here is my template contents page for my college magazine

Task 13 - College Magazine

My next task was to create a college magazine that I would make on Photoshop as practice for my final Music Magazine that I would create.

I had taken the two pictures using my phone camera however I would like to use a better quality camera in order to have better quality images. I had also used bright red colours for the banners as to make it stand out a lot more and I had used a white font as to make it look big and bright.

Task 12 - Impacts Of Photoshop

Photoshop may be a very useful tool but it can have different effects on people, both positive and negative which can have a dangerous influence on people of younger ages.

Positive:

• The music magazines will benefit the most from photoshop as it is assisting sales
• The models will benefit also because it gives them more publicity and improves their image
• It gives the consumer something to look at

Negatives:

• It gives younger girls the impression that they have to look like the models in order to be considered "beautiful"
• It can cause younger girls to become anorexic because they are starving themselves to look like someone who doesn't even look like that themselves
• It gives men unrealistic expectations of women

Task 11 - Photoshop Album Cover

I have completed the album cover in photoshop using a variety of different skills such as face merging, colour blending, smoothing tool and text tools and many other techniques. here is the final image:

I decided to make the album cover a mix of both of their albums as i have merged both of their faces onto each others bodies, however both of the artists are from completely different genres so i decided to make the album different from what music genre they are from as a parody Jazz album using both of their album titles and giving the cover a starry night and a grey-scale tone.

Photoshop - Album Cover Practice

I was set a task to gather pictures of two celebrities and merge them together somehow and make a mock album cover for them and the two celebrities that were given were 50 cent and Susan Boyle, Here are the two images that I will be using:

 

Photoshop Modification (Continued)

In a previous post I had began to edit a picture of Emma Blackery with different tools, well I have looked at different online tutorials for Photoshop and I have learned how to merge and change an image so that it gives a face-swap kind of effect, as seen below:

As you can see the face is blended into the original image and the skin tone was changed to match that of the one in the original photo.
