Contents Page Images Used

This is the main image for my contents page. I took the image when I went to see Peace live and plan to edit this to make it look more professional.

 

On the first two versions of editing this image first of all I decided to crop around the image so you couldn't see the heads of the crowd and the cameras at the top. I did this by using the rectangular marquee tool on Photoshop. I just selected the part of the image I wanted and then copied it, once I had done that I then created a new layer to paste it onto. Finally to finish the cropping process of I then deleted the first uncropped layer which left me with the part of the image I wanted to keep.

 

The first of the two I wanted to change the brightness and contrast settings. I did this by going onto Image - Adjustments - Brightness/Contrast. I then made it darker using that tool on Photoshop and afterwards slightly adjusted the levels of the image which are found on the same tab on Photoshop.

 

The second of the two images above I wanted to experiment trying black and white to see what it would look like and if it was good how would it fit in my magazine contents page. But first to make it black and white again using Photoshop I went to Image - Adjustments - Black & White. This created a really rough looking picture and when you look at it the lights in the background make it really stand out even though it has no colour which makes it very powerful. The black and white fits well into my magazine because it matches my colour scheme for the whole magazine.

 

I have decided to try and see what each of these images look like actually on my page and the decide from there which one to use if any.

 

 

 

 

One of my secondary images used was from a previous photo-shoot that I did not use. This is the image.

 

 

I plan to use this image as a secondary image next to an article that will be related to the image to make it look professional and make it more reader friendly than just all words. I am not going to edited this image because when I took the image I purposely got the bottom sort of blurry part of the piano in the shot that adds a real mysterious effect to the image.

The image also matches the colour scheme really well for my magazine which I like.
