Photo Edits

Here, I have shown how I have edited the photos used in my music magazine, Pulse.

1. Frontman for the support band, The Loyal Few.
This photo featured on the contents page so wouldn't need to be edited much as I was using it on a small scale. The mid shot, which featured a single subject allowed me to use the image on a small scale, as there wasn't much intricate detail in the image. I've increased the brightness on the image so it stands out from the page and doesn't make the page, overall, seem too dark.


2. OkGo's frontman, Damian Kulash.
This photo features on a large scale on both the contents and double page spread, becoming a dominating feature of both these pages, so it needed to be of high quality. I have increased the contrast in the image so that the lines and colours are stronger and more defined. I have also increased the brightness a little so the image stands out from the page and induces an overall brighter tone. The blue in this image compliments the colour schemes of both the contents page and double page spread.


3. Waiting outside the Waterfront before the gig.
This photo also featured on the contents page so would be used on a small scale, however, the image was very dark so I've had to increase the brightness a lot to ensure that all detail could be established in the image. This also made the colours in the image stand out more, particularly the blue of the building which complemented the colour scheme of the contents page.


4. OkGo's bassist, Tim Nordwind.
This image featured on my front cover so it needed to be of high quality. I've increased the contrast a little so that the colour and line in the image becomes more defined. After removing the foreground subject from the background, I encountered the problem of the pink lighting which was still showing on the subject so I used the clone stamp tool to remove this. The black on this image worked well to position white text over, and the red complimented the colour scheme of the front cover and is bold and eye-catching.
