Research & Planning - Magazine Progress 4 1/2

I have added some extra features in this stage, including a line to partition the publication line and title from the cover lines which i will be soon adding. I have also added a barcode it the bottom right with the price and date it was published.

I got a medium close up as the main picture for my front cover, i asked my model to give a serious look at an angle with direct address. I chose him as my model because he has a hip hop clothing style with a hoodie under a bomber jacket. He also has facial hair with rough flat hair which add to the style Im going for. To make it so it was only him and no background, i used the magic wand tool and selected then deleted the background. It was easy because I took the picture in front of a plain white screen.

My publication line I chose because i didn't see it on any popular magazines on the internet so it is unique and it is very effective to the audience.

To start off with I created a Photoshop document with a grey background. I picked this shade of grey because it links in with my my picture of my model. I used Lemon/Milk Regular Font in size 102pt.
I use Gulf as my title because it is unique and effective with my style.

These are the unedited pictures i took for my double page spread and cover. They were took with a DSLR camera in an outside environment with non and natural lighting, a mixture of both.
