SKILLSRebecca Phillips

DROP SHADOWSI really wanted my headline text to stand out on my front page cover so I researched how to add a drop shadow onto my text.

Doubled click on the layer Select drop shadow Change the Structure and

Quality

This gives my text depth and makes it stand out on the page and therefore to the reader.

BRUSH TOOLSFor the plans for my magazines I coloured them in on Photoshop. Therefore I have to learn how to use the brush tool.

However I also wanted to edit the brush and its effect on my image.

Brush Change diameter Change hardness

This allowed me to create a neater plan and add shading to my plans.

SATURATIONTo make my images appear more professional and clearer I wanted to edit the saturation of the image.

This allowed me to add red shades, whilst the lightness allowed my to lighten dark images.

LIGHTING EFFECTSI developed my skills in image editing and more specifically in the lighting effect. To achieve this lighting effect you select • Filter• Render • Lighting effectsThen change the Style, area and other factors to create different lighting such as spotlights onto your image.

AUTO-COLOURFurthermore, for my image editing, I wanted to correct some of the colouring of my image to make to more appealing. Image Auto- Colour

This edited the image by correcting the colours such as reducing harsh reds and brightening greys.

EFFECTSI wanted to images to look Pop-Art like so change the effect on the image. Filter Artistic Then choose and effect. I went for

Watercolour.

This created an interest focus point on the image that made it stand out from the page.
