Photoshop lesson

Step 1

This is the image I started off with in the lesson we had to make a front cover for a natural magazine. I copied the image from Google and used photoshop as it is an easy program to manipulate photos.

Step 2

I then added an effect to the picture. This made it more interesting and attractive. I also lightened the colour so the green stands out and the path is lighter. This gave me a suitable background for my front cover. The block effect makes the picture seem it's put together by different sections.

This is the tool I used to enhance the picture. By going on enhance, adjust colour, colour variation. This allowed me to do the feature I produced.

This is the tool I used to include an effect for the image. Extruding is the name my effect which enhances the image for the front cover.

Step 3

This image was also taken from Google and then by using photoshop I extracted just the squirrel and pasted it in my image of the front cover.

This is what it looks like after I croped and pasted thge animal on the image.

Step 4

I then added text to the image as well as a date and price. By using the text tool on the far left, I created this white text to stand out and catch the reader's attention.

Final step

Lastly I added a barcode and title. This ios my final image of the front cover. I enjoyed using photoshop and hope to use it in the future.
