Evaluation- Question 6



Photoshop was the programme that i used to make my magazine, and i learn alot from using it that i didn't know before. One of the main things i learnt was how to transfer hand written text to photoshop, and manipulate it until it looks exactly how you want. I removed background, changed the colour to bright pink, and added a black outline to make it really stand out.











Previously, to get a white translucent glow on the picture, i used the brush tool and painted white with the transparency levels high. I learnt that the best way to get a white glow was to use the 'gradient' tool. I selected the gradient tool, and then chose the option of the glow going from white to transparent (transparent meaning that the background image would still show through the white). By using this tool it was able for my to draw on a gradient wherever i wanted, giving just the edges of the image a white glow, making sure that the centre of the image was still totally opaque.






To make my masthead stand out more, i added effects by right clicking the layer on the right hand side of the page, and selecting 'outer glow'. This gave the lettering a black glow around and inside it, contrasting with the pink of the text to really make it stand out.
