In this lesson we went back to E3 to work on our magazines. I had added the finishing the finishing touches to the front cover of the magazine and have completed the front cover.

I am happy with the front cover of the magazine and i think it is much better then my preliminary task. I think the front cover of the magazine looks like a music magazine.
This what my front cover looks like:

For the cover i have added other band names to show that the magazine will contain stories on them too.

At first i wasn't going to use this picture, but because i required morew things to put on the front cover i ended up using it. I edited the background of this image because there was unecesary things in the background.

As it can be seen from the zoomed print screen shot of this image the background has unecessary things, so to get rid of it i first clicked on the eyedropper tool in photoshop to select the the similar black background of this image.

I then used the brush tool in photoshop to brush over the posters and things in the background.


I noticed that this image also has alot of red eye, and this made the image look bad. To get rid of the red eye i used the red eye remover tool in photoshop inorder to get rid of the red eye.

This is what the finished picture looked like when i was done. i have made the whole background black.

Now that i have finished the front cover of the music magazine i am now moving onto the double page spread and the contents page. For this magazine i am going to be keeping a constant house style throughout these pages.
