Changes Made to Magazine Cover

After receiving feedback for the magazine cover we needed to make changes so that it looked perfect and like an actual Little White Lies cover. Below is a video of the changes that we made:


We started by re-merging the two images first, to make sure all facial aspects were in line and matched. We did this by cropping out half of Umed's face and placing t over the picture of Naiem's face. We then decreased the opacity of the picture of Umed so that we could re-size the image perfectly with Naiems face. To the best of our ability we lined up the jaw, lips, nose and hairline. We then selected a part of Umed face to use the clear brush tool so that we could get in half of Naiems face in the picture also.  After doing this we increased the opacity back up to 100% and then did a final re-size to make sure the images were lined up together properly. This was our image: 



We went with the two faces idea as we had two protagonists in our film and to show the equal divide (through half and half of each persons face) between the two. 

We went onto address the fact our merged picture would look better with an effect on it. So we went into the filter gallery and chose and picked one from the 'Brush Strokes' section called 'Accented Edges'. 



We added in this effect as we thought it would suite our picture and the theme Little White Lies follows. Every cover Little White Lies has done as some sort of artistic effect on the cover picture and we believed this best represented ours.  

We moved onto the fact our logo didn't look good as some of the circle from the logo was cut off. We got up the Serpico Little White Lies cover and cropped the logo down and copy and pasted it onto our magazine cover. We zoomed into the image and used the quick select the parts of the image of the Serpico image that we could not crop. We used the clear brush tool to erase these and so that our main image would come through.

We then added in our text with a better font and size and placed it onto our magazine cover.
