LO3: Setting up Adobe Photoshop CS6


This screenshot is for setting up Photoshop. I am using Photoshop for my front cover of my magazine. It has the Height of 215mm and 285mm comes from my proposal. I got the size from measuring Q magazine, which is a type of magazine that I want to create due to it doesn't have an exact music type like Kerang.

How did you get together? 
Ashleigh : We formed at high school. I met Kyle in form where we just messed around. We met Lucy later on since she is in the year above us so we met since I was friends with her boyfriend and we started talking and be found out we had a love of music. We have been best friends since. We first started playing at Lucy's house just messing around and her mum said that was good. Then the more and more we played and made songs together, then we thought we are a band and we need a name so that we start could start doing our own YouTube channel. 

Are you writing any more music? 
Lucy: Yes, we are always writing. I write every single day because I love music. I see something and it can be anything. I write lyrics about it.  
Most are never used because they’re never any good but 1 out of a 100 is good. We do band meetings and look at the songs we've written and make it  

Which bands have inspired you? 
Ashleigh : A lot of band inspires us as we don’t like sticking to a style. We like the freedom to write whatever we want rather than a set gender and get stuck figuring what style we want to work in and what sounds right with the song. We always like to make it more personal so that we don’t get bored of that song like some songs in the charts. Later we can look back and say that was my life at that point like Adele with  the albums 19, 21 and 25.  

You said that a lot of bands inspire you so what music are you listening to at the moment? 

Ashleigh : “Today I been obsessive about "Malibu" because Miley's voice is amazing. I already think that it will be my summer hit.” 

Lucy: “ I love the Vamps and I went to see them a couple weeks a go and now I keep listening to the "Middle of the Night" and they also support the New Hope Club Fixed.

I took the photo and then I used the greyscale tool in Adobe photoshop to soften the background.  I did this because it would emphasise the model's face so that in my magazine the eye would be drawn to her and not the surroundings.  This fits in with the DPS since I wanted to focus on each member of the duo while they were talking and making a point. My magazine is for young people who are interested in music and this picture is aimed at young people.
Front cover
I used a tool in photoshop which allowed me to put all the text into one colour.  I selected all the background which was white and used the razor tool to remove it. After this I selected the text using the same method and used the brush tool to convert the black to red. I started off with a smaller brush size so I didn't get all the text in one go and reselected all of the black and increased the brush to the largest possible size and did the same thing again.

For the contents page I took this photo of the band.  I cropped it using Adobe photoshop to get rid of the background. I also cropped it to get rid of an extra person in the shot. I did this so that attention would be focussed on the band and I resized the photo because I only needed a small photo for the contents page.
In this photo I crop and resize the photo. I crop out the other person in this picture and use the quick tool and fill it in the body that was still left with content fill. The picture need to be smaller so it fit on my content page.
