Evidence that I have edited a image for my magazine.

These screenshot of the layers menu in photoshop show the different stage and editing techniques I used to create my final draft of my front cover.

The original image showed the actor in the middle of the page in full colour. The image was taken on an iphone. To edit it I cut the around the actor using the magic wand tool, when I got a rough outline I went in closer to get individual pixels. This made it look professional and correctly done. Then with the cut out I made the background black and white and placed this layer below everything else. Then with the cut out, I made this the top layer so it covered anything that was behind it like the title of the magazine. This effect made the actor stand out on the front of the cover. This layer effect coupled with the black & white background made for a dramatic and moody vibe that I planned for.
