NEW Magazine Cover

  • Recently, when we were looking over our magazine cover and film poster, we decided our magazine cover did not look genuine and effective enough, so we decided to redo it completely, with a different image etc. Above is our new 'Empire' cover, which we have made look much more professional by using different conventions.
- Bigger bar code to highlight authentication
- Sticker highlighting gore
- Month and price in both sterling and USD
- More text about what is to be included in the magazine special.    

To make our new cover we used different tools on photoshop, which helped to make it look authentic. 

- Lasso tool to cut round actual 'EMPIRE' lettering and mask to change levels of brightness and contrast
- Opacity tool to make 'The Unwelcome' name look spooky and ghost like
- Text tool to create our text, and then colour tool to change the colour of certain words
- Eraser tool to put 'EMPIRE' lettering behind the masked head
- Ellipse tool to create coloured circle.
