For the images i used for my front cover and double page spread of my magazine, i used a combination of the magic wand, lasso, crop and resize tools. I used these tools on the two images of me.Firstly, i used the magic wand and lasso tools to select myself in the images. I then inverted my selection which made everything in the image but myself selected, and deleted what was selected. That left me with just the cropped image of myself, then i dragged it onto my magazine and then resized it, and finally positioned it where i wanted it to be. I carried out the same procedure for the image on my double page spread as i did for the front cover.
I wanted my magazine to be as original as it could be, and part of this included not using a lot,or any, secondary images. In my magazine, i only used one, which was the barcode in the bottom left corner of my front cover. I even wanted to make the barcode original, therefore, using the magic wand tool on photoshop, I swapped the colored of the barcode around, making the background of it white, and the lines and numbers black. In order to find the barcode i used, i simply went on google and searched 'barcode', and selected a barcode from the 'images' search.
