magazine typography ....

this was an experiment that i did from my original type over the magazine page, i wanted to see how it would turn out and also create a different effect, i wanted to use photoshop and change different parts and take out parts to create a while new image, this will help me to see what works and what doesn't it will also be a good way for me to learn new skills. 

i did this by first selecting the background and taking it away, the reason i wanted to do this was because i wanted the image to look less like a whole page and only have the writing just on the models, to create the face typography. i think that this worked really well and has come more of a separate piece instead of only a page with words, by me taking out the background i think that it was given it meaning. and also i could now use that on some of the artist to create effect by doing something that you don't normally see. i also changed the exposure, on one of the models i made the exposure less and the other i over exposures it to create the contrast between the two images, that again creating an affect that i wanted to see how it would turn out. 

i would definitely use this in my cd cover but not over too much of it as i think its takes away from the picture, but i think done right for example not too much writing so you can still see the design of the image underneath. but i love the contrasting effect on the design and i think they both complement each other really well and i definitely want to use these effects in my cd cover, i might not use them only on models i can use them on all different parts of it and thats what i like about find out new effects. 

this is another image that i also edited from the type on the mag page. i didn't change too much about this image but what i did want to do was make the image colour richer and have a stronger colour to make everything stand out more, it also make the image have a more professional editorial finish to it, which would fit into the fashion side of my album cover and appeal to my target audience. also by changing the colours it has made the type merge into the original magazine page, and it has become one and looks like the writing was there the whole time which is what i really like. the idea for me was not to add too much as it could become to much sometimes the most simple things are the most effective and thats what i wanted to find out by only changing the colour and seeing how effective it is. i think that it has turned out really well and effective and showed me that i don't always have to do something big to make a big impact.
