I have learnt much stuff from processing my music magazine. I have used the software Adobe Photoshop cs3 to create my music magazine front cover, contents page and double page spread. I have used this software program because it is a program to do lots of photography and creativity. I had some knowledge of the tools in the software and also how to create magazines.When I was using adobe Photoshop, the main tool I used was the selection tools and the brush tool. I have used the brush tool to use for quick mask selection while I was trying toe edit the image and make it look professional. I also did not want the image or the front cover to look too much made or worked on, I wanted to leave the photography as original as possible.
Firstly with Photoshop you could do so many things to make create your magazine , but i learnt to keep stuff simple and not make it complex to my self whiles creating my magazine. Photoshop , mainly i used the text fonts and layout settings in Photoshop i did not want to use much of the selection tools because if i used it on my image it would of create an unprofessional look for my magazine so i kept it simply and just played around with the fonts and a little on image edit to give that professional studio effect. A fantastic thing on Photoshop is you can find any color tone you want for your text which this made me link it to the color theme of the image.

To take the images I used a Canon E0S 400D camera which is a professional camera. I have learnt to take the images in certain angles and shot as many professional magazines do. I have used some light ‘flash’ to make the image shot clear and it was easy for me to increase the brightness of the image when I used the flash it balance the room light and also made me take good quality images.Also I used the spot healing tool to take out the spots form my models and also to fix up little bits that would have made the image look bad. I also learnt to save file that I was working on as psd so I could re open it when I wanted to work on it, and when I had finish everything I saved it as Jpeg which is a photo file. For my front page, contents page and double page spread I have used the stroke tool to make my text stand out and clear. With the stroke tool you can do many things with the text/text box.
