Magazine Construction

Here are some screen captures from our magazine review. We decided that we wanted to have a review that captured the urban feel of our film and our poster, so we experimented with the background on Photoshop. We wanted to create a spray-painted, graffiti-like effect, and after working with the different paint brushes, we could find the desired effect. What we wanted to do was to frame the images with the spray-paint effect, so tried working with the images and editing the layer above. We placed 3 images on the document, one large one in the top right, one smaller in the bottom left and one smaller still in the bottom right. We then experimented with erasing some of the white layer above the images and found that by varying the size of the eraser tool we could achieve the desired effect. I think that it works well in creating a non-conventional, urban feel to the review and is in keeping with both the film and the poster in terms of atmosphere created.
