Pictures I have used for my magazine

Front Cover

This is the picture I have used for my Front Cover. It has my girl group around a Christmas tree pointing to the top star. I have cut out around the whole picture to get the full effect. I have also sharpened the picture to make it less pixellated. I have used this picture as my front cover image as it is the best picture I have of my girl group and I specifically took this picture for it to be used on my front cover. I have also used this picture as I like how it shows off my girl group and my Christmas tree to show that my magazine is a Christmas magazine.

Contents

This is the background picture to my contents page. I have used gradient to fade this image into the background. I have used this picture as I didn't have a good enough picture to go on my contents page so I choose this picture and it worked really well. With the picture faded, it has brought out the lights and the reflection it has on the Christmas tree. I have also cropped this picture to get rid of anything I didn't want.

This picture has been cropped so I can use it on my contents page. I have also sharpened this picture. I have used this picture so the theme of Christmas runs through the magazine and by cropping this picture shows the different styles of my girl group.

This is the second part of my cropped picture, as I have said before, I have cropped this picture to show the different style that my band mates have but how they also connect together. This picture has been sharpened all over and at the edges.

Feature Article

This is the main picture for my feature article because I like how my girl band are posing and how I haven't had to sharpen this picture or crop it in any way. I have changed their clothes so they are more comfortable and I have also done this to make it look like its Christmas morning and their excited by the looks on their faces.

This is the second picture of my feature article and it is the last picture in my magazine. I have used gradient to fade this picture to put it behind my text in my feature article. I haven't had to crop this picture but on my feature article I have had to crop it a little so it can fit into the lines on my page. I was going to use three separate pictures but as I liked this one the best, I decided to delete the other pictures and just use this one so I have two main pictures on my feature article.

Overall I have used six pictures for my magazine. One on the front cover, three on my contents page and two on my feature article.
