For this effect I found a photograph of a polaroid on the internet (if I do use this technique I will take my own photo), used magic wand tool to select the inner frame, and then pasted in my image. I really really like this effect and I think it fits my magazines theme perfectly, I think it could be used on my contents page to change the main photo being used (change due to advice given through feedback).
I decided to do a few quick edits to see which photo's I think have the potential to work on the front cover. I chose the most striking mid shots as this is what kind of photo I want to use. I simply retouched (due to blemishes) and played with saturation, contrast and exposure...
