When creating my front page I have learnt new skills using in-design and Photoshop, also with a camera. For example….

whilst photographing my model i recognized how important it is to acknowledge the angle of the camera, for example the camera reiterates the message of the model by the positioning of it and how the model looks. It is also really important to ensure your model is positioned properly in the lens. It is also really important to remember to focus your lens on your model otherwise it will effect the whole resulting image.

After taking the image I used Photoshop to help me edit the image such as, cutting tool, move and selection tool, feather tool and the colour replacement tool. This helped me change the colour of hair strands to help blend or colour correct my models skin or impurities on the clothing etc. I also used the healing tool to help clear the blemishes on the image.

In addition to Photoshop I used in-design, In-design helped me choose the most appropriate masthead, I also used another toll which added a shadow affect on my text. I also used a smoothing tool which helped blend out my image into the background image.

Using these apps and the tools that they have to offer really helped me have the results on my image that I hoped for.
