Effects/Skills/Techniques I have used to create this double page spread:
- To allow the brown paper to fade into the background rather than stand out I feathered the edges at 20 px, I think this worked very well and looks alot better than just having a raw cut image.
-I turned the contrast up and the brightness down on the photos that run along the side to give a very bold effect, against the faded colour of the background image (i'd turned down the saturation to give this effect).
-I scanned ribbons, and buttons in and cut them out, I then turned the brightness down and the contrast up to give them a bold effect.
- I used the magic wand tool to select certain areas that needed colouring, e.g. title font
- I changed the opaquity to 75% on the photos along the side to allow them to fade into the background - without being lost altogether.
After showing my teachers my double page spread I have been advised to experiment further with the following things;
-Contrast/brightness on jamie in the main photograph as it is a little too bright,
-Making the page symmetrical so that nothing will get lost into the fold,
-Experiment with fonts for the article, and maybe use fridge magnets for the heading.
