This is the basis of my magazine cover, shown without the image in order for me to see how well it worked with the conventions of a magazine cover. By removing the image, it could be apparent to me whether or not the font/colour of the text was appropriate.

As this is a film magazine, I used a film strip to put the title in. This would be something the audience would recognise when buying the magazine. By having recognisable front cover conventions, audiences are more likely to remember it and it becomes more attractive.

To attract audiences, I used a colour overlay at the top of the magazine to promote a free poster of a popular new film. By using the shadow underneath the text, it highlights the promotion of the poster and is therefore more ye-catching. I did this by right using the colour overlay feature.

Whiten the teethAs a way to make the photograph look more presentable, I use a tool to whiten the teeth of my actors. I selected the lasso tool in the toolbar and then drew around the part that I wanted to change. After selecting the teeth, I clicked Hue/Saturation. I selected the colour yellow in the dropbox and then kept Hue the same level but moved the saturation more to the left side to produce a whiter shade.

Removing Blemishes To remove the blemishes, I selected the healing brush and then used the Spot Healing Brush Tool. I decreased the hardness from 100% to 85% and kept the diameter quite low as there werent many blemishes to fix.
