1. Preparing the image for the magazine
cover

2. The first thing I did was to crop
the image because there was
plenty of extra space on the top
which wouldn’t be useful

3. After I cropped the image I changed the
colours; I darkened the picture I bit and I
also made the colours more contrasting.

4. However I didn’t like the shadows which were on
the background, because after changing the
colours they because more emphasized. Therefore,
I cut the background with the free selecting tool

5. At the end I re-sized the image, because I wanted it
to be in a more rectangular shape appropriate for a
magazine cover.

6. The image before and after Photoshop
