Step by Step and Evaluation

My recreation

The original My recreation

The programs I used to recreate the magazine

I used Adobe InDesign CS 5.5 to place and organise the photos I had and bring all my resources together

I used Adobe Photoshop CS 5.1to edit and make the photos I look better and did a lot of photoshopping in photo shop

Step by step with tools

Step 1

The gradient back ground I used the gradient tool to do this with colour selector I picked two colours I wanted to mix, from the plate like so.

Then by doing this I created my background

Then I selected this tool and I made a line down the page

Step by step with tools

Step 2

The masthead and sub mast head, I recreated these by using the magic wound tool

Holding down Shift and clicking on each individual letter in masthead and sub mast head I copied them into InDesign where I repositioned them.

Step by step with tools

Step 3 Taking the picture of Harry Jenner “James Bond”

This is the original photo

I used the magnetic lasso tool to take away the background from the original photo

I made a line around the outside of harry then I right clicked and select inverse. So I selected the background then I pressed the delete button

Step by step with tools Step 4: photo shopping “Harry”

I now used the spot healing tool, to remove the spots and moles from Harrys skin. I did this by just clicking on the moles

I then added shadow to the photo by using the drop shadow affect

This is my finished edited photo

Step by step with tools I started with this picture then used the magnetic lasso to cut around the outside of the model take the background away from the model.

Then I used the magic wand tool to take away the yellow from the modal

I then changed the hue, so the picture was a brighter bronze colour. So the picture then look like a coy of the original

Then I placed the model in the cover and changed the size

Strength and weakness

Strengths I think the recreation of the woman in the background was a

good skill Copy of the masthead and sub masthead was very good,

because it looks very much like the original and very professional

Weaknesses The James Bond reaction could have been better but it is

very hard to recreate photos because it is hard to get the same conditions with out notes, so there was alo0t of guess work.

Are you pleased with it?

Yes I'm very pleased with my work because a lot of work has gone into it and it has coma out very well. It looks like the original and I have had many comments from people saying that. So I'm very happy because that was the original task to make a perfect recreation.

If I was to do this task again I would do nothing different because everything went very well.
