Final Front cover

Final Contents page

Final double page spread

I noticed that when i uploaded this, the background can apear
 to have a yellow tinge.  I thought i'd note that the background is
completely white in its final state. 

Editing Original Images

Below shows the process of editing from original image to its final state for my front cover:

This is my Original Image

I edited the original in photoshop, eliminating the background. 

I set the image onto a black background at first. 

             

I added several default effects
 to see which i preferred.

I decided to play around with overlays
the smoke added a very dangerous and
mysterious element to the image but i did
feel it was too grungy and dull.

I felt that the smoke was not suited and was too
heavy and ominous for the artist so i added an
affect that drew more attention to her as she is
featured in the main article. 

I noticed when adding other conventions to my
front cover that the colours in the previous image
did not suit the vivid red and black therefore i
resorted tto simply white and black for the back-
ground which fitted in perfectly.

I used the original white background and
applied the effect which looked a lot better as
sheisn't completely surrounded by black.

I used both photoshop ad pixlr editor to create this image.

This shows the process of my ideas, these
are mocks/idead for my font cover.  

This shows some of the steps taken towards deciding
on how my main image would look for my double page
spread. I used photoshop and Pixlr to edit these. 

Masthead

While drafting my forst publications it became apparent that these imported fonts from online became pixelated when stretched on editing software such as Photoshop. Therefore i had to resort to the basics for the time being. I decided that 'Britannic Bold' was most suitable for the font of my masthead.
