Jarvis Cocker created a magazine cover in Photoshop by deleting the purple background with the magic wand tool, changing it to a blue/black gradient. He then added a bold black masthead font and rearranged layers to put the model in front of it. Finally, he included a barcode image. Through this activity, Jarvis learned how to delete backgrounds and ensure high quality images for neat selection and work.

- 3. I began by using the magic want tool to delete the purple background. I then decided that as the magazine appeared to be aimed at men, blue would be a good idea for the background. So I changed the background colour to a blue/black gradient. Then, I created the masthead. I used a bold black font. I decided that I wanted the model to be in front of the masthead, so I re-arranged my layers to create my desired effect. I concluded by adding a bar code image which would be used to scan the magazine in shops.
- 4. From taking part in this activity, I have learnt new skills in photoshop. I learnt how to delete backgrounds which is a very important part in magazine making and a skill that I am likely to use when creating my own magazine. As the original image was quite blurry, I found that it was difficult to delete the background and difficult to select everything with the magic want tool. So I know to ensure my images are good quality when the time comes to take my own photo’s, thus, making my work neater and easier to complete.
