MC: Editing The Magazine Advert

We have had to change our magazine advert photograph as we are no longer using the shots of Tiff in front of a black screen. Instead, we are using a photo of Tiff in front of a blue screen so we can edit out the background to make it what ever we would like. This is our original photo.

To start with, I added a vector mask layer to a duplicate of the image. Then using this, I used the colour black to erase the blue background from the picture. I used the colour white to enhance her hair and other areas that may have been erased by the black. Next I found a photograph that we took in Brighton on one of our shoots that I thought would look effective for the background. I placed this layer underneath the layer of Tiff. This is how it came out.

After I was happy with how the photos looked, I added in the text. I went on to www.dafont.com to find a font I thought would particularly work well. I chose 'Creative Type' because it's quite simple but includes a feminine touch. I used this for her name which I made the biggest piece of text, and I used it for the line of text selling the artist underneath.

I then included an 'Out Now' line in red so it stands out and catches the audience's attention. I added a slight shadow to the edges to make the outline less harsh. I also included how to find Ella Henderson on social media underneath, as well as an iTunes advertisement. This is the final product.
