Graphics Mock Work In Progress

I've taken around 30 photos beforehand, and then by using Adobe Bridge CS4 to create a contact sheet, so I can select the photos that I want for my magazine cover.

 For the contact sheet, I've chosen the template to 4x5 cells, which is a suitable size to fit all the photos in.

 Afterwards, I saved the contact sheet into my graphics folder.

Then I open the contact sheet in Adobe Photoshop, so I can use the Brush tool to do some crosses on the photos that I don't want. As for the photos that I like, I leave it there and add some short comments about what I like about it alongside.

After choosing the photo for the magazine cover, I then open it in Adobe Photoshop and start to do some editing, like to cover up some flaws like the wounds on her finger by using Brush Tool.

Then I open a new document in Adobe Indesign, and insert the photo in it by using the rectangle frame tool.

Then I typed in some cover lines and the masthead also barcode into the magazine cover to finish it off. For the masthead I used red modern typeface because it enhances the elegance and classiness of the magazine, also the red and yellow colour contrasts with the cover photo, as it has cool colours like dark grey and black.
