To create this background we had to carefully digitally stich several pictures together as the original was not big enough to fit the whole banner. To do this we created several copies in the Photoshop file and lined up the various layers of brickwork.

To make the silhouette effect we simply applied at first the magic wand tool from the selection tools. This got rid of the majority of the background. We then carefully went round the edges with the eraser tool. This was a fairly long process as we had to zoom right into the edges so as to only get rid of the areas we didn't want.

To get the correct text font and colours we used the ‘Channel 4’ style guide. We opened the style guide PDF file on our computer and looked into what colours we were able to use and the font we needed. We then typed the text our and copied over the font. We decided to leave this aspect until the end, this was because we wanted the colours to fit and the positioning to be correct. The writing was originally at the top but we felt a narrower banner meant that the bottom was a better place for it.

After a first draft of the banner and a bit of feedback we decided we wanted to make it seem slightly more three dimensional. To do this we incorporated some shadows. This was done by copying the original picture, darkening it down to a black silhouette and then altering the transparency to make it look like a real shadow.

Again to get the channel 4 logo we used the style guide which gave a specification on where to place the image on the page. This told us we needed it on the right of the advertisement. We then took the image from the style guide, cropped out the body of the 4 using the magic wand tool and made it white.

We researched into the layout of the RadioTimes and realised the title was separated. To recreated we used the PagePlus textbox an line drawing tools. We also used italics to get the correct style.

We started with just an ordinary picture of a wall which we took whilst on our recce. We used a digital camera and imported it into PhotoPlus and changed the light colour balance.

We felt that the brick wall on its own was a fairly boring backdrop. To create the graffiti we first drafted some mock pictures using common educational figures such as Henry VIII and Einstein. To then create the effect Alessio drew out the pictures in a graffiti effect on paper. We then scanned these into a computer. After they were on the computer we needed to cut out the background using the selection tools. We then made them slightly translucent and darkened them to make them look more realistic

To create the effect with the three figures we cut them out using selection tools we then layered them so as to make them look like the back figures were behind the centre character. We then changed the white balance to make them all look the same tone wise.

To get the make it look really realistic we used the ‘RadioTimes’ logo at the bottom just like the magazine itself. We found this by looking at actual copies of the magazine and finding an image on the website.

To Get the lettering effect we used text boxes with various font sizes and varied the layering so they didn’t overlap.
