LO4: Evidence of Editing

I edited this picture primarily for the poster for Unit 20. However, I also included this the contents page section of my magazine, using it as advertising that would realistically be placed in a magazine such as this. I added a vignette to the image for a cinematic look, and increased the blacks, shadows and contrast to make the colours of the team more bright and vibrant.

I also subtly increased the saturation and clarity of another image for my contents page - making it more eye-catching and attractive while still conveying the same message - teamwork etc.

In addition, I created a more dramatic look for another image, increasing the blacks and contrast to create connotations of importance and seniority, which was appropriate as this image was used to advertise an interview with a coach - a senior position.

Again, in order to make the article the image was advertising look more interesting and enticing, I made the colours more vibrant to show the enjoyment of the sport.

This is the image I used for my front page. To make it more eye-catching I increased the contrast and saturation to give the model and her surroundings a brighter glow, making it easier to see and more attractive.













As with the above image, I brightened the colours of the front page, making the player, Maddie, standout more against the background and making her seem more warm and approachable as a result.

For my DPS I again increased the contrast and saturation to make the players more eye-catching, while the vibrant greens were intended to show that rugby is a fun and vibrant sport.

For all pictures I used Adobe Photoshop to edit my photos, just using the image editor tool as that was all I needed, as I just needed to make images more attractive, not add effects, text or graphics which would distract readers from the image.

I used the box tool in Adobe InDesign multiple times to create backgrounds for texts, as can be seen in my masthead and tag line, and to create borders for the interviews. This was to create a clean but unique design throughout the article to make it more eye-catching while not detracting attention from the text.

The text tool was also used to create the masthead, tagline and body copy of my article. Using various fonts, colours and sizes I used this to create a varied but collected and effective look for my magazine.
