Draft of image for Front Cover

Here I have experimented with different styles and effects. I used the magic eraser tool to take away the unwanted background surrounding the person. I then used a half black and half coloured filter to cove the feature article photo, this is to give a unique and unconventional effect. The face is presented in a black filter and the rest of the body is presented in colour. 

Once doing this I used the original image and used the magnetic lasso tool to cut around certain coloured features on the face. I cut out the coloured mask on the checks and around the eyebrows, her eyes and her red lips. This is so these features stand out in an unconventional way compared to the black top half of the face. 

For my masthead i have titled it "REVOLUTION" in a font called "STENCIL STD". In the word "revolution" it is has the word "love" spelled backwards. So i reversed and flipped the word love making it red so the letters are backwards to make the word love stand out more. This shows a dramatic contrast in the word revolution as love is the complete opposite to it. In producing the words in red and reversing them it shows a style off rebellion, breaking against normal conventions of a magazine. 

Also, in creating a rebellious magazine I have used bright and bold colours, and a new singer to show how people are rebelling and breaking conventions to become their own unique person. the whole house style of this magazine is of bright, bold and rebellious styles. 

I will use a better and higher quality camera and use the lighting more effectively when i retake some of my images for the front cover. this will develop and evolve in style with a more understanding house style.
