Image Editting

Due to the brand written on some of the items in the before image above, it is not suitible for use in a school prospectus. Using the clone tool, I editted out the visible branding and the person exiting the frame in the top left corner. I then cropped it to avert the focus on to the main subjects, the girls in uniform.

Colour popping, also known as colour filtering, is when an image remains is seemingly greyscale and only one, or a few colours, remain. This is useful for drawing attention on to a point.

In publications, fonts are important. The type of font used can convey the magazine’s image and audience persona. The above fonts are mainly of the decorative type, “crackman” and “rocky horror” are specialised fonts that were created for one project, pacman and the film rocky horror picture show. A serif font is the use of “flicks” on the end of letters, for example, Times New Roman.

Sans serif is font without the “flicks”, Arial. The above fonts can be downloaded from various websites.

By creating another layer, with a low opacity, I could create a rainbow effect to the photos taken during the lesson. Using different colouring effects, I could blend the top layer to make it look more fluid and blended, in this case soft light.
