Making of the Final product
Photoshop the image
First of all I put my front cover image in photoshop and used the dodge tall to make the area I want to stand out more stand out.
The next step was to make the background blurry with the blur tool. Doing this will help the model stand out more
Then i zoomed and trimed off what i dont want anynore. Then i used the burn tool to go over the models skin and make it look brighter and more tanned.
I discovered when I placed it in to InDesign the main model was very blurry. What I did was I used the sharpen tool and went over the whole body and this makes it stand out. This tool has been useful because before the model looked blurry like the background

Opinions
I got some feedback from my peers and one said I should zoom in more because the main focus is the model and right now it looks like a nature magazine.
​
Others said the font does not go well
Changed what my peers thought need changing
For the picture for the double spread i used the blur tool on photoshop to make the main model stand out even more.
Sharpen tool to make the model clearer
I changed the first letter of the placeholder text because this makes it look more like a magazine. I also used quotes to put in the centre of the text so it breaks up all the words.
The colour scheme I went for is fairly bright and I though this was a good idea because it stands out more
Front cover
Double page spreads
I asked some of my peers and they liked this double page spread the most. An improvement to this my peers said was to make the paragraphs the same size because that's how magazines are
