Production

I used such tools as the
  • The magic rubber
  • Rubber
  • Fill colour
  • paintbrush
  • layers
  • Rectangular marquee tool
  • font tools like
  • size
  • colour
  • font
  • Move images
These tools I knew how to use but there were tool like the magic eraser that I didn't know how to use before and helped me a lot in the making of the magazine. I used the magic rubber tool because It enabled me to remove the whole background in one click, but the problem with this is that sometimes it has problems with decided what is the background and what is the foreground, This happened when I deleted the background of my main picture, some of the colours of the shirt were cut out so I used the Eye drop tool to sample the colour of the colour of the T-shirt and use the paintbrush tool to colour in the missing parts, I did this zoomed in so if you were viewing the magazine at a normal size you couldn't see the blending of the colors.
I had 9 layers on my front covers and 16 on my contents page, I created them by going on file open and selected the image I wanted to put in the magazine from the folder my pictures.
Used boxes of colour to give the pages a more attractive layout, I selected the square tool, drew a box and filled it in with the fill tool.
