Photoshop skills development 2- Simpsons poster

i have made this poster on photoshop, i used layers and text to create the effect, i used the magic want tool to select the background of the title and delete it, i then tidied it up with the eraser. i used the eraser to make a faded effect on the image at the bottom, i think this effect looks good as it blends in with the rest of the poster.

Photoshop skills development 1- Jarvis Cocker

 I have edited this image of Jarvis Cocker for the main  page of a magazine, i have used many tools and effects to get this final look shown below. First, I selected the outline of Jarvis with the magnetic lasso tool, i used this because it is accurate and fast, i then pressed cmd+J to duplicate the selected area, this means i can now put images in-between the layers and get the effect of the masthead being behind his head. i used the text tool and font size 18 to get the effect for the title, i wanted to make it look formal and professional so used the font Palatino Linotype, it looks really good and i think i will use it again for my final front cover. For the background, i filled it in with the paint bucket tool and then used a darker shade of purple and a special brush at a large size, this gave the hazy pattern in the background. The coloured jacket was easy to make, I made a new layer and then painted over the jacket with the paint brush, then used the overlay tool to make it blend with the clothing. i did the same with the  shirt, but green. I inserted the images by copy and pasting them in, and removed the backgrounds from them by using the magic want tool, then deleting it.

inspirational videos

i like this music video because it is different from all the others, i could use the cartoon effect in my magazine.

i like this music video because it is different in the sense that it is old and brings back memories, i could use this theme in my magazine.

i think this video could influence my magazine because it is a British theme and that is rarely used in media.

i liked the black and white theme of the video and i could use this in my magazine.



These videos are all of the same genre and will be based in my music magazine
