How I edited the snap-board upon my image. (PhotoShop)

This is how my image started.
My snap-board contained write writing in which was irrelevant to the context of my frontcover so I decided to edit it and remove the texted. The images below are the development of my image to the finish.

Photoshop Testing Editing skills

Here are some test edits I did upon Photoshop in changing the colour of my models hair

I followed this tutorial video on YouTube to get this look and learn how to use this tool.

Justin Bieber Concert

When Attending Justin Biebers Concert, I took many pictures, some of which shown below, I think Some of them would be useful in my magazine as there real images taken by myself of an actual pop artist. 

I think that the framing and lighting on some are not very good, but I think if I choose the right image

and manipulate it upon Photoshop slightly it might work to be a good feature article.

Final Front Cover

Last Minute changes ;
When looking over my front cover I realised that my text had changed on auto correct to 'Realses' Instead of 'Releases' in which I had to re-edit the text.

Draft Front covers

This is my first draft of my front cover I have found there is too much space to the  left side of the magazine

and I believe that the magazine was to bland and there was too much space overall

This is my second draft of my front cover as after my first  draft  as after looking at my
first draft I found that the text "Lucy-Loo" was hard to read and didn't stand out from the background. In order to avoid this I added a light toned box as another layer underneath it to enable it to stand out.
Also after looking at my first draft I found that there was a lot of negative space around my model mainly to the left so I added an extra feature story to fill it up.

 This is my third draft of my front cover after reviewing my previous drafts.

I found that my Mast heads text wasn't very conventional, so I tested a few new ones and found the one which I preferred and believed suited it better.
Next since my Masthead originally matched my footer I decided to change it to fit with my new theme. I also added a skyline to match which is conventional to a music magazine. After this I removed my image of Ben-J  and pulled my plug higher up. I then moved my price and date upon and above the bar-code which is a more conventional look to a music magazine.
I then moved Lucy-Loo up onto the clipboard and added a pull quote to draw in my attention to the model.

Finally I re- worked upon the left side to my magazine and added another feature story which draws in the target audience and allows my magazine to seem bulked out with intriguing stories conventionally like a music magazine. 

 This is my fourth draft of my front cover after reviewing my previous drafts.

I found that I needed to fill the negative space on the right of my front cover. Conventionally to a magazine I decided to add a top song list to the right ; Containing artists from my genre (POP) I also added a glow around my feature stories in contrasting colours to the background to catch the readers eye and allow them to stand out.

This is my fifth draft of my front cover after reviewing my previous drafts. I found that after adding the top songs to the right hand side, having 10 made it to crowded so I simply cut it down to 5 and expanded my text to allow it to fill the space and look more conventional.

This is my sixth draft of my front cover after reviewing my previous drafts. I simply edited my models hair to pink to fit conventional look to my model. I also found that the footer wasn't for-filled so I added an amount to what you'd win.

Overall my process has come far and I have found that my work has improved throughout.
