Evidence of Manipulation of Images

By James Borland

Here I took some text from dafont and edited it to the colour and stroke I wanted. I did this by using the select tool and selecting from around a headline.

I created text with the text tool on Photoshop and used the same colour using the RGB values in the colour overlay tool. I also used file, place to bring in my first image to scale the text around it.

18.01.16• Today whilst using Photoshop I learnt how to layer my images.• I learnt how to add text.• Using Photoshop I have learnt that editing is very important

and allows you to change the photo later.• I have learnt how to layout my magazine cover and make sure

that the most important parts are in the right places.• I have also re-learnt how to remove the white from the text.

Here I started to remove the background of this image by first creating a mask then selecting that mask using a magic wand tool and then using the paint brush for final details.

I brought the edited image in to size it with the other.

I then edited the other image in the same way with a mask.

Using the show transform tools I resized the images to make the two models look like the photo was originally taken with the two of them together. I did this as it gave me more control of the shape and sizing of my cover. Also with the shape tool I created a long rectangle along the bottom to create a strip for my magazine.

Here I started to change the colour scheme for my text as some of it was not clear due to the images in the background and I wanted it to be easier to read. I also resized the images and the masthead.

I tried a blue colour as in my questionnaire I had considered this colour scheme. Ultimately I removed this colour from the cover.

I have made more of the text blue and also resized and moved the text.

I added a marker to the middle of the cover so that I could keep the masthead central and also keep the right spacing between the two images. I did this by dragging from the left of the document to where I wanted the marker.

I have flipped the barcode, by rotating it with the transform tools and I have also created the puff with the custom shapes tool. I have also decided on a more suitable colour scheme with the white text instead of blue fitting in with the background.

Next I created a background rectangle and gave it a gradient to give the cover a bit more character then with just a white background. The darker colour of the bottom of the background helped my text to stand out better on the image.

Here I dragged the masthead from one document to my new document made for my contents page.

Using the standard text tools I created a new contents title for this page. I also copied my masthead so that I would have two of the making it symmetrical. I then added this image and created a stroke for the image with the tools along the bottom right corner.

I changed the brightness of the image in the bottom left but I had not created a good mask which meant it changed the colour of my two mastheads. I eventually realised this and made a mask.

I then removed the background of the image, the same way I did earlier.

I have just added more text and placed more original images with very little editing. The underline of the titles was created with just the rectangle tool.

I saved the social media images off of the internet and then placed them into my document as with any other image.

I changed the font as it did not look write to a black font to make it stand out and easy to read.

I moved the text to the left to fit the page better using the normal transform tools. I wanted there to be a grid like feel to the contents to make it clear and easy to find what you are looking for.

I added text with the text box tool and copied and pasted the article which I had already written. I also made a swatch with the same RGB as the red of my headline and coloured text of my cover and contents.

I cropped out the background as I have with other images from my cover and contents and upped the brightness slightly.

To make the picture move the text around it I used the Text wrap tool. This made the text move around the image.

Here are my final adjustments to my double page spread. I added a larger stroke with the tool on the right to make the red text including my headline stand out more, I also enlarged it with the tools along the top.
