Magazine Cover Production

After doing a the relevant research we begun creating our magazine cover. We went with the idea that we we would have two faces merged into one, for our Little White Lies cover. Below is a video of how we created the magazine cover:

We begun the magazine cover by opening up our images of our characters and our main influence (the Serpico issue) we then also opened a new file and put in the dimensions in inches of 8.5 x 11 and changed the backgroud to black.

After doing this we cropped the Little White Lies logo from the Serpico issue of Little White Lies and then used the rectangular marquee tool to select the surface area of the logo we wanted to copy and paste onto our magazine cover.  After doing this we used the transform controls to re-size the image to an appropriate size and cut out all the excess that we could not crop out from the Serpico issue.  We did this by zooming into the image and using the quick selection tool to select the part we did not want and then used the brush tool, selected the colour of our background and brushed over it. So that we could accurately brush out the parts we did not want without damaging the image we used the sub tools of 'Add to selection' and 'Subract to selection' so that we could perfectly select the parts we wanted to rub out. 

We then started to merge the images together. We did this by cropping a part of Umed's face and then using the rectangular marque tool to selct the area we wanted to copy and past on top of the other image. After copying and pasting it onto the other image we re-sized the image to get them in line.

After re-sizing these images we then used the rectangular marquee tool to select the area we wanted and copied and pasted it into our magazine cover file; and began removing excess from the background we did not want from the image.

Before finishing we added the title of our film. 

Here is our finished magazine cover:
