Your life, Your times photoshop skills development

This is the recent version of my magazine front cover. For my front cover I have used the Photoshop skills that I have learnt of the past few months in order to create cell lines and change imagery. Obviously this version here doesn't have an image as of yet as it is in its early development stage. But I have still learn these skills and I have shown this in other blog imagery. Firstly there is the ability to use and download the fonts and brushes and to use the brush tool. The brush tool is located at the far left of the screen and after downloading them you can create an effect on your imagery for example in my Christmas cd cover I used brushes to create snowflakes and I plan to use them here. And downloading fonts is just the same as in in design.

Secondly there is the ability to create shapes or text boxes. Both options are available on the left hand side again. By pressing the shape tools whether it is the elliptical shape tool or the rectangle shape tool, you can draw your own shapes. This then allowed me to make button sells from this as I was then able to write text in them. I think I may choose to use this on my front cover as it allows th me to use it for whatever I want. Whether it becomes a reward sell line. Another tool I leant to use was the healing brush tool which I used a few months ago. This allows you to change the look of the model in the photo and enhance their appearance.


Finally to enhance text on Photoshop I can use the FX button located at the bottom of the layers section. This FX tool allows me to add depth to my text and create an outline like with stroke. The next tools involve the colour of the imagery. To change it you can use one of two tools. The first is the colour/contrast tool. This allows me to change the colour of text or imagery and there are various places on the screen to do this. Also there is the cross processing tool. I have already tested this before on other subjects and in this blog there is evidence for me doing this. This allows me to adjust the layer curves and change the tone and colour of an image.
