progeression on photo shop

I use Photoshop to create my background by merging a picture of the school and a picture of Arron.










Next I added 3 new layers consisting of my school logo, the word magazine and a barcode.


The logo is the 3 letters in the top left corner SHS, which stand for Smithdon high school.


The word magazine is there to create a title for the magazine when it is read with the logo.


The barcode is positioned in the bottom right, despite this not being my image it is there to make the magazine real.


I then started adding headlines such as ‘skirts - yes or no?’, leaving an open unanswered question to give the impression that the magazine is talking to the reader. I have written it in a red circle so that it becomes more eye catching to the reader.











A few more things I’ve done are, I added another headline, but used some semiotics on this as I made the word ‘rotten’ green and over a splodge like shape.

I have used throughout my entire magazine three main colours so I don’t bombard the reader with colour to the point where they no longer want to read the magazine.
