Contents Background

When creating the contents page I had in mind what I wanted for the background. I took inspiration from ELLE magazine and decided to also challenge their conventional background by creating my own 'collage look' background however only creating half of a collage to look like a woke in progress. I chose to do this as it connotes with the magazines genre being fashion as fashion is never seen as being complete, it is always changing and transforming having endless possibilities.

I created this collage using a selection of images from Company magazine cutting them out and sticking them on an A4 piece of paper. I then took a photo o the collage and sent it to myself via email.

I then used Adobe Photoshop to edit the quality of the image to enhance it t a high enough standard to be featured in a successful fashion magazine. I firstly used crop tool to remove the mass of necessary sections of the image. Then I used the magnetic lasso tool to carefully edge the background of the image then deleted it. this left me with just the collage as the image I then enhances the brightness and contrast levels and then  the dodge tool to brighten any particularly dark patches
