Magic Wand Tool
I used the magic wand tool on Photoshop. I used this throughout the project on the front cover, contents page and double page spread. It was especially useful for text.
I clicked on the white background then right clicked and selected ‘select inverse’ which then selected only the text.

Starting image
I used the clone stamp tool to move the girl over making her closer to the boy in turn making it look more intimate.
I made the brush bigger and selected the image I wanted to clone by holding alt and right clicking.
I then cloned it to the right so the girl was closer.

Filter Editing
What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product?
I used filters to edit the picture so it would look warmer and so it would have a more ‘country’ feel and fit my house style.

The opacity of the puff was 100%. I changed this to 85% so it would still stand out but wouldn’t block out the main cover image.

First of all I went file > transform > rotate 90 CW so the image was the correct way round
Then I selected the crop tool and cropped the image to its desired size.
I then applied the crop to get my final image.

I used ‘PicMonkey’ and ‘DaFont’ to get different font types for my magazine. These sites gave more interesting and appropriate fonts than the default fonts on Photoshop and InDesign.
I opened a blank document, selected the font ‘Rye’ and typed my magazine name to get my chosen font.
Out of the numerous options I picked the ‘fancy’ category as these fonts fitted the house style of my magazine.

this product?To create my magazine pages I opened a new InDesign document
I selected 4 pages, 1 for the contents page, 1 for the cover, and 2 for the double page spread.
I then moved the pages around so they were set in order and the double page spread was now one page.

Once selected I held down alt and picked the colour I wanted

To export my final magazine, I went to file > export.
I then selected a JPEG file type to allow upload to the blog.
I selected the spreads option so the double page spread exported as one image rather than two.
