Research and Planning: Magazine Update

Today I worked on putting font and arranging my magazine cover. I added a barcode, and price (which needs to be moved)

Research and Planning: Magazine Photographs

Magazine Photographs:
Today I took some photographs of Brendon and myself for my magazine cover. I then proceeded to edit the photographs using Photoshop and realised after looking at examples of magazines that I would quite like to have a background instead of a block colour. I then went and took more photographs of isolated and spooky looking areas as the backgrounds to the photographs weren't what I was looking for. The following are examples of the sorts of photographs I took:

Research and Planning: Poster

Today I could begin working properly on my poster, as the group managed to get together to take the photographs I need for my poster and magazine ideas.
In order to achieve what I have created here, I imported the photograph of me, Becky and Anika onto the photograph of the eye, and changed the opacity so that you can see the eye through us. I then used the warp tool to fit the photograph of us into the shape of the eye, and used the eraser tool to neaten up the edges. I quite like the way it looks now, but I don't think it looks professional enough, I obviously need to add the title and release date, but I think I'm going to use the gradient tool to fade out the edges of the eye. I will need feedback on what I have created so far, so perhaps I will upload what I have onto Facebook to allow for many people to give constructive criticism...hopefully.
