Photoshop- Editing My Images

Here are some examples of my manipulation of the images that I took on my camera:

The bottom photo is the one I edited. I removed a plant that I felt was ruining the photo in the bottom left of the photo. It was also covering some of the writing. I removed the wire that was going up the wall for the same reason I removed the plant.

The bottom one is the photo I edited. As you can see, there is a cluster of mess in the middle of the room which I needed to remove to make it look better.

School Magazine Cover

This is the cover of the school magazine for the preliminary task we were set. The reason we did this was that we needed to get used to Photoshop and Publisher for the main task of creating the music magazine in a couple of weeks.

Prelim photoshoot

These are the photos we took at Deyes. We took these photos to save time and to show the new technology, the Apple macs, and say that these are at Maricourt. Most classrooms look the same in most schools so it was easy to do this. In the photos, it shows me working and another pupil, Laura, working. This would convey that Maricourt has hard working pupils. It also shows Mr Howard teaching a couple of students which represents the caring nature of the teachers and their relationship with its students. We will take a lot more in Maricourt when we go back. We will use some of the cameras in the art department.

The shots that we have taken of me and Laura working are meduim shots. This is enough to show that we are working in the book and looking at the board. A couple of the these type of shots will be used in the prelim task.

We are going to have to take a more varied range of pictures in Maricourt. Maybe take some photos of the younger years like in year 8. I was thinking that I could put photos up of the recent Sierra Leone trip in Africa that some of the sixth pupils went on. This would show how our school helps the school in Sierra Leone, which is called St Raphaels.

Photoshop Tutorials

When I create and design my music magazine, I am going to have to use Photoshop. This program will help make my music magazine as good as it can be. We were learning how to use different tools in order to make the image better including cropping, contrast/ brightness, spot heal and clone stamp. Here is a couple of examples:

 

In the first picture, the majority of the image is of the background, which is the sky. The planes look too small compared to it. In order to get rid of some of the sky, we had to crop it into a suitable size so that there is still some background, but the image is now more focused on the planes more now.





The next tool we used was adjusting the brightness and contrast. In the first picture, there is too much light and exposure. We had to adjust the brightness and contrast to make the image as clear as possible. To do this there were colour curves which we had to drag above or below the line to get as much clarity as we could.

Front Page Designs

This is the image I have drawn from the cover of Heat magazine. This will serve as a guide to what my front page will look like when I do my music magazine.
