1. The first thing that I did to improve my front cover was to
make sure that the readers could read my article. I did this
by making my background image opaque by changing the
opacity. This made the background lighter and the text
easier to read. I then changed the opacity on the other
page of my double page spread to the same opacity so
that it would match and not look bad and clash.
I also rearranged the font so that the ‘F’ the
larger first letter of the article fit in with the
first word and didn’t look off beat or out of
place. I did this by sing the ‘select tool’ to
move it about until I was satisfied.

2. Using the spot healing took I was able to
blend in a stain on my models dress.
Although it was not very noticeable I felt
that it still looked sloppy and
unprofessional!
I then changed the size of the headline and the subheading so that it would be more attractive to the readers. I
also made it easier to look at as before I moved it the word was overlapping with the roof of the shed so was a
bit distracting, by moving it under the rood of the shed it looks neater and like a boarder.

3. I also decided to fix the square that I tried to cover up a plastic bag with. I used the ‘spot healing
tool’ to blend in the edges with the surrounding greenery. I zoomed in really close using a
smaller brush so that I could be ore accurate. This benefited as it looks like nothing ever was
cropped and moved, it looks real.

4. The reason I chose to do this photo
was because it was taken landscape
and using the rule of thirds so my
subject/ model is to one side. I also
chose it because she is playing the
guitar and looks like she is having
fun. I thought that this would be a
good image to present to readers so
show the fun side of being a star, and
that Charmaine is not all serious.
