Contents Page Text

This is the text which is on my contents page. To get this effect I downloaded a smoke brush for the eraser tool. The brush was from http://www.brusheezy.com/brushes/1830-real-smoke-photoshop-brushes. Originally the text had plain square boxes around the white text. I decided to add to add this effect because I felt that it added to the page and made it more interesting.

Double Page Spread photo

This is the photo which I have used on the second of my double page spread. I have chosen to edit this photo in the way that I have based on the way in which photos are put together in Clash. Some of the images in Clash have been manipulated in a similar way. To construct this photo I have used the rectangular select tool to select different sections of the image. I then used the 'cut via select' to isolate the selected area as another layer and because I was able to alter this layer using the transformation tool. I changed the size of the layer and I have rotated some of the layers to make the image more interesting. The central part of the image which includes the clothing logo is in colour. To do this I have duplicated the layer below and then selected the top layer and went over it with the history brush. This removed the black and white which was on all of the image. I altered the colour balance slightly to increase the red levels as this meant that the photo would highlight the red of the logo and it would emphasize the brand which is very important for the article and my magazine as a whole.
