Photoshop + Magazine

During the process of creating my magazine, i have learnt and used a variety of photoshop skills. These would include:-
. Text effects eg drop shadow, outerglow and rotation, spacing ect
. Adding banners and shapes and erasing parts for a 'ripped paper' effect.
. Using the lasso tool to cut around images
. By using the lasso tool and I created layers of parts of my pictures to go over text/banners for a more proffessional look.
. Editing photos to improve quality and create a style suitable for my magazine, i liked to have high contrast images to make sure they are bold and stand out and this type of image is often used in all contemporary magazines. Also removing spots/blemishes and adding features eg eyelashes and eyeshadow.
. The use of layers and its important to order them in the right way.
. Adding sections of text for my article.
. Picking out colours so i stick to the 3 colour rule.

Also when developing my magazine it is important to remember all important magazine features eg: Price, barcode, dateline, main cover image, issue number, slogan, main cover line, coverlines, masthead, page numbers, website ..
