2nd draft of double page spread

This lesson I have been editing my double page spread so that there is more detailed writing on the page. I have also been re-arranging the writing to see which layout works best with the image. I am also going to change my image on the double page spread, this is so the reader can connect to the magazine to do this I will use an image that has direct eye contact to the camera. This is one of my chosen images for the double page spread one is a raw image and the second and third images are edited using photoshop.


This is my first image I chose this image as I thought the direct eye contact would work well on one of my pages as the girl in the image didnt connect to the audience enough. I like the facial expression on this image, I think it would really arract the reader as she looks happy but I think it still looks elegant with the way she is dressed and the way she is posed. I will now go on to editing this image to see if it will then work on my double page spread
This is my image slightly edited, by using photoshop I cropped the image so she was the main focus and the audience would be connected to her. I then removed the other things out of the background so she was the main focus and so the image background didnt look messy, I think this image will work well for my double page spread as I will then zoom in on her face so that she is really noticed on the page, I may also edited the images further so the image stands out more and really focuses on just her.
This is my final edit of cropping the image, I noticed on the image before there were slight marks still left on the image where I had tried to get ride of the background. I will now start to use this image in my magazine, trying different layouts and finding out whether this image works better than the previous. If I think this image works well I will the go on to editing more intense using photoshop, using different effects to see which work best. On the other hand if I think this image fails on the double page spread I will choose another that I think will work and also edited that image further.
