Over the due course of developing my tour poster and most importantly my music magazine front cover, I have picked up a fair few skills and tools that I can now use when creating my double pge spread, to make it look as effective and detailed as possible. After choosing the image I wanted to use on my double page spread, I realised my models’ jacket was very creased and it was so obvious. In order to use this image in my double page spread, I would have to figure out how to get rid of these imperfections. So I looked for a tutorial on YouTube and found the ‘blur’ tool. In which I proceeded to blur all the creases out of the jacket which worked really well.

I also noticed that in the images of Fin where he is holding a crown, the crown wasn’t very noticable as there was too much light shining on it. I made the whole image brighter to enhance the colour and boldness of the crown so it is eyecatching for the reader. I needed the crown to stand out as my pull quote is ‘The King of Indie pop’ so this had to tie in and relate to the image. I did this by adjusting the brightness/contrast, lightness and saturation. I had to change a few of these in order for it to pick up the crown’s key colours.

The impact of this was to make the overall image pop, not just the crown and massive pink gown. I feel after these adjustments, the whole lighting and colours of the image are now a lot more striking.
