This is the original photo used on my contents page. When designing the page, I didn't think the photo particularly stood out and decided I wanted to edit the colours so that it would so. I really like the picture as it allows me to add plenty of text to the left of the page without having to edit or crop the actual photo.
I began editing the colours on the photo to try and emphasise the picture. By changing the contrast and brightness of the original photo, I was able to produce photos similar to the one on the left. Although i like the colouring on the image as it is very bright i felt that the text could potentially become hard to read due to the fact that the background is an orange/red colour and the text would also be red.
I felt that although i like the colouring used on this image, it is quite soft and I'm not sure whether it would fit in with the pop/rock genre of my magazine.
Double Page spread editing
When I saw this image from Adele's interview in Q Magazine, i immediately thought about how good it looked and as a result, i wanted to replicate this for my own magazine. As the text has a hand written effect to it, i decided the best way to produce something similar to this was to actually hand write the interview and then scan it onto the computer.
When I'd handwritten the interview and scanned it onto the computer, I felt that the text was quite hard to read as a lot of the text colour had lightened. I tried to darken the text that had become lighter but found this was hard to do without effecting the pieces of text that had scanned successfully. As a result of this, i chose to type the text due to the fact that although hand writing would have made the interview more unique than others, i didn't want to jeopardise the audiences ability to read the text just to make it more unique than others.
