In today's lesson we managed to do quite a bit with our magazine cover. Although, this was not straightforward as we came into the lesson we had a plan for what photo we are going to use and so on. We ended up spending most of our double lesson trying to cut the image out of the picture leaving us with the background so we could create a gradient effect. As we wanted to go for a look that seems would be on studio magazine and from looking at examples we wanted to use a very similar idea. One of the main issues we had with this was editing and being able to use the tools well on Photoshop such as, 'Quick Selection'; we intend to watch some videos on you tube that would help us. Our idea later changed as we still wanted to cut the image out of the picture but to then change the background to black so we can get a gradient effect of black going to white as we saw on this studio magazine:
We were finding difficulties in trying to edit the image that we had chosen as the actress was sitting on a pole and we did not want to rub all of it out as it looks like she is sitting on air as well as the fact that it was quite difficult to ' refine the edge of the picture. We ended up changing the picture that we wanted to use from the one on the left to the one on the right:
As the picture that we are now going to use is taken on quite a nice background we want to keep the background but also maybe use a gradient effect. We will continue on with this in tomorrows lesson, hopefully everything will go to plan.
