Evidence of editing and design process using software

For my original draft copy of the magazine, it's fair to say that very few changes were actually made to the pictures used. One reason for this was that, under the knowledge that the pictures themselves were only intended for the purpose of conveying the layout of my final pictures, I didn't feel it was wholly essential. However, there are several changes which I entend to make to the pictures, through the use of photo editing software. In preparation for this, I added the software of Photoshop to my laptop, as it apparently had advantages over the softwar Paint.net which I had used for all of the preceeding work up until the final copy.

I intend to alter the lighting on the pictures used for my contents page and intend to use a photo edit which will enable me to de-colour all but the main cover star. This edit will hopefully be used on the picture accompanying the article. As of yet, I haven't quite decided what edits will be used upon the main front cover image if any, although I'd like to experiment with the features in order to get a quirky feel to the picture, in keeping with the theme behind the image.

The writing which can be seen upon the main image accompanying the article was added using paint and anoy other additional numbers or words which were placed over the pictures were also added using Paint.net.
