Evaluation

I used Photoshop to make a front cover for a gaming magazine. The tools I used were:

- Hue/saturation - Paint tool- Crop tool- Quick selection tool- Custom shape tool- Threshold- Shadow tool for glow around the letters.- Writing tool

I haven’t learnt how to use any new tools on Photoshop.

This is one of the colours I used in my magazine cover

For the blood in Call of Duty Ghosts I used the custom tool and slowly added blood to it because the game is full of blood.

This is the finished magazine cover.

For this photo I got a DVD cover and printed of a front cover of an Xbox 1 game cover and edited the photo to make it black and white.

For the background I got a photo of myself and edited it with hue/saturation tool to make it more colourful and vibrant.

My strengths for Photoshop are:

- Using layers - Adding photos- Using the text tool- Cropping photos- Using custom shape tool- Using colour- Using quick selection tool- Using the texture tool

The weaknesses were:

Comparison between my magazine cover and a real front cover

This is a proper gaming magazine made by Microsoft Xbox. I think that the colours of my magazine are not similar to the Xbox magazine but the colour box, barcode, price are similar to the magazine.

Are you pleased with it?
