Photo Editing

                             Photo Editing

        When is came to designing my cover, I glanced back at my previous blogs to combine all elements that I wanted to include in my magazine. This included the content, images and structure.
    The structure is quite similar to the magazine I analyzed in class (Mother Earth Living) which provided an clean and simple structure. I still had to play with font, but it was just a rough planning of my ideas.
        Since the photo shoot were taking at such distinct locations, the lighting and tones of the pictures don't really blend together to include them in my magazine just yet. Because of this, i'm going to be adjusting this with the Photoshop program so all pictures come together and compliment each other before starting to place them into the actual magazine.
     For the cover I decided that I would make the picture of the teeth model and aloe the main image. The original picture had the background full of leaves and it wouldn't fit the aesthetic aspect of lifestyle magazines, therefor I used the "Quick Selection Tool" to select the background, delete it and replace it with a solid color. When adding the solid color I also increased the contrast so the model of teeth were more defined, since the readers may not identify what they are very clearly if they aren't.

       The cover photo needed the most complex editing but the rest of the pictures will not need as much, but enough so they mix well together.  As a reference to what i was editing I utilized thewebsite below. What I edited in these photos were the level of saturation. I heightened the saturation in the pictures to take away any gray tones and make them seem as vivid as possible.

I also did some replacement with this missing tooth on the model.
