Magazine Front Cover (Fourth Draft)

The feedback that we obtained from our second survey that we conducted, was that the background of the magazine cover needed to be more exciting,as it is a little plain. Due to this, Amber used Pixlr Editor to add wall on to the photo. This gave the picture more of a setting. Also, not through feedback but from our own thoughts, we added a blood splatter over Lukes' name, to again emphasise the genre of the film.

Steps of the Editting Process

1- Open Pixlr Editor Programme.

2- Click ‘Open image from file’

3- Chose the photo required from your library

4- On the navigation bar, go to ‘layers’ and click ‘duplicate layer’ so that you have two copies of the original image.

5- Google to find a background that will be fitting, but also big enough for your image.

6- Right click and scroll to 'Copy image address.'

7- On Pixlr's navigation bar, choose the option called layers, scroll to 'Open image URL as layer.'

8- Paste the link from Google and press Enter

9- Use either the lasso or eraser tool to remove the body from the wall

10- Darken the duplicated layer and lighten the wall

After adding the the wall, we asked for the final feedback so that we could add the finishing touches to the front cover. Things that we were told to do included:

- Make the masterhead stand out more (make it a different colour to the rest)

-Add a magazine tagline

-Increase the darkness of the shadow (To make it more obvious)

-Add text that will grab the readers attention above the masterhead (include buzzwords)
