Changing the brightness of my images

In order to ensure that my images were printed in the best quality that they could I had to change the brightness as they were too dark and would not have come out well. In order to do this I needed to open up my image in Photoshop and click on image.

Once you click on image a list of options will appear below you must then click on adjustments and another list of options will appear.

You should then see a list of options and you must look for the one that says brightness/contrast. This is what I was looking for in order to brighten up my picture.

A box will then appear on the screen and you will have two levels which you can increase or decrease in order to change the brightness and contrast to your image.

Once you have changed it to you chosen brightness you must then click on ok and your image will automatically be changed and will look brighter and will now be of better quality when printed.

How I made my front cover

During the creation of my magazine I first decided on looking into the title magazine, thinking about fonts, colours and how big my title should be in order for my audience to be able to see it clearly. I decided on using Textile as my chosen font, this is not a font usually used within real magazines therefore I wanted to give my magazine a different effect to it.

As you can see I decided to use a green colour for my title making it bolder than my tag line. My tag line has been used to let the audience know about what my title means, this is something that my audience said would appeal to them in my survey I produced.

I then decided to add in my cover lines thinking about linking colour schemes as I wanted to use pastel colour as I felt that they would give a warmer feeling than something bold. I also had to make sure that they linked to the main storyline I was using in my double page spread also linking to my main image which will be placed within my front cover.

I then placed my image into my front cover ensuring that it was a CMYK and that it was the correct resolution in order for it to print with the best quailty.

Construction - Checking the resolution of your image

To check the resolution of your image you must firstly open your image up in photoshop.
You must then click on image which you will find in the bar at the top of your page.

Once you have clicked on image, find Image size which will be in the list displayed on the page.

Once clicking on image size a box will appear on the screen where you must check that your resolution for the picture is above 200, if it is below 200 this could cause pixelation. As you can see my image is already 300 therefore I do not need to change the resolution.

 Then click ok once you are happy with your chosen resolution.

 This is what your final image will look like once changing the resolution, ensuring the best results when printing your magazine cover

Construction - Changing an image to CMYK

To change an image to CMYK you have to open your image into photoshop. Once it has opened you must then click on image which you will find in the bar at the top of your page.

You should then see a list of options. Click on mode and a list of different names should appear.

Then click on CMYK color and this will change the colour setting of your photo.

This is what the final image looks like once it has been changed to CMYK color.

- Changing an image to CMYK will ensure that your image is at its best quality for printing.
