Screenshots task 11 and 12
- 1. Screenshots Task 11 and 12
- 2. Front cover screenshots- Image manipulation This is one of the very first things that I manipulated. With this, the hand displaying the “peace” sign is meant to replicate the ‘v’ in my magazine for the name of the Masthead, Revolt. I believe this to be a very effective idea as it shows the artistic side of the magazine but also makes it unique compared to other magazines. The image that you see here is the image that I manipulated for my front cover photo. At first, it was just a plain blue background from when I used the green screen. By manipulating this image I felt that I would have more freedom in creating and experimenting with my background which was something that was a key element to me. Also without a background, it meant that full focus was on the image which was the main focus of the front cover.
- 3. Front cover screenshots- Text With these specific screenshots, I will mainly outline the text. The first image displays the main coverline which is the coverline that anchors the main image. This clearly shown by the fact that the artists name is clearly the biggest thing highlighting his importance. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th image all show my coverlines that I used. As you can see, these are slightly different due to the fact that they are a lot smaller than the main coverlines they have a different style and level of importance. Although, like the main coverline, I used a website called Dafont. I used this website for the words that are in green and also the name of my artist. I did this to again highlight the importance of my artist but also because they were buzz words which are used to attract audiences.
- 4. Contents page screenshots- Image manipulation With this first image, I manipulated in a similar way to which I manipulated my main image on my front cover. The reason I did this was to keep that idea of the main image being the main driver for the magazine. Again, I also believe it puts more focus on the person in the image. The image on the right is the same person who was on my main image. But again. I have completely taken out the background by using the magic wand tool. This was because I felt that firstly, the background made the image look messy and unprofessional but also, it had no relevance to the actual article which may of made it confusing for the audience. For this final screenshot, in the bottom left hand corner, I didn’t manipulate this image at all. The main reason for this is that I felt that the background in this image was relevant to the image as the lighting was perfect as well as the models fitting in with the environment. The only thing that I really did was add a border which was mainly to emphasise the image, but I did this for all the images.
