Front Cover Draft


Here I have edited the front cover of my magazine again. I have changed the lighting of my image using the Lighting Effects tool found under Filter > Render. I used the natural lighting option and chose where to position the light from - in this case I chose the top left hand corner, in front of the model. As well as this, I added a sense flare to the top left hand corner to give the image a sunnier appearance. However, these lighting options made some highlights of the image appear too bright and so I tried to dull them slightly using the Highlights/Shadows tool, this was difficult without dulling the rest of the image. I, also, desaturated the image slightly so that it would not appear too bright. I then decided the see what the image would look like completely desaturated (the black and white front cover) - overall, I quite like the appearance of this but I am not sure whether I prefer it to the coloured version or not. Obviously, if I choose to keep my front cover in black and white I will have to change the color of some of the sell lines/subheads to make them more visible.
