Learning to edit using Photoshop.

In class today we learnt to edit our posters and film magazines on photo shop. As we had already taken pictures for our poster and arranged them how we wanted them on PowerPoint we knew what kind of image we wanted our poster to have. We first got our image of the main character, Megan and edited the picture a little, airbrushing her face a bit and getting rid of any parts of makeup we disliked about the picture. We chose to crop the image a lot so the poster would literally be filled up with her face and nothing else. We did that so we could see the vulnerability in her face and eyes. After editing Megan we decided to get an image of a chess piece from the Internet. In our final draft of our poster we wouldn't use a image from the Internet, we would take a picture of the chess ourselves, but we just wanted to see what it would look like. I used the magic eraser on the chess piece to get rid of the background and sharpened the image as it went blurry when we increased the size. After that we added text using fonts from Photo shop just because it was too complicated to get a font from a website and edit it so there wasn't any white spaces as the fonts were quite intricate. This is the finished product of the poster. We were experimenting with the colour of Megan's picture and when it went black and white we decided we liked this better than when it was in colour. obviously because this is still a draft we are not completely decided that we like it in black and white so we might change the colour again for our final poster.
