1. Induction: Re-Creation of a Movie Magazine Front Cover


This is the magazine front cover my teacher gave me, I was asked to manipulate this magazine cover.


















This was the image I was given to use for the magazine cover I was going to re-create.

















This is my version of the magazine front cover, I used the image above. And mainpulated the magazine above, I found it easy to manipulate the magazine cover because I used Photoshop before in GCSE Media. The only part i struggled on was when I had to use the selection and magic wand tool to select the faces and paste in another document, using the magic wand I had to crop around their heads. I struggled here becasue the image was pixelated was very hard when using the magic wand for it. But using the other tools was great, and everything else went good. Overall I found this task easy.
