CANON PROJECT – DEVELOPING THE
SECOND COVER
• FOR MY SECOND MAGAZINE COVER, I HAD DONE A NEW PHOTO
SHOOT SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS MAGAZINE COVER. I SHOT THE
PHOTOS IN A WAY SO THAT THEY CAN BE USED AS BACKGROUND
MATERIAL.
• THIS PHOTO USED HERE WAS SHOT FROM A BEDROOM WINDOW
AND HAS QUITE A NICE VIEW OF THE SKY. THIS HAS ENOUGH
CONTRAST AND MUTED COLOUR TO BE USED AS A BACKGROUND.

CANON PROJECT – DEVELOPING THE
SECOND COVER
• ONE OF THE FIRST ADJUSTMENTS I MADE TO THE IMAGE WAS TO BLUR IT,
I HAVE DONE THIS SO THAT THEY LAYERS ON TOP OF THE IMAGE ARE MORE
READABLE AND TO MAKE SURE THE DIFFERENT LAYERS AREN’T FIGHTING
FOR THE AUDIENCE’S ATTENTION.
• I ALSO ADDED THE SAME CANON HEADING TO THE COVER AS THE FIRST
COVER, THIS IS TO KEEP A SIMILAR STYLE GOING ON THROUGHOUT THE
MAGAZINES.

CANON PROJECT – DEVELOPING THE
SECOND COVER
• AT THE BOTTOM OF THE COVER I ADDED THE RED STRIPE AT THE BOTTOMOF
THE MAGAZINE COVER TO GIVE IT THE TYPICAL MAGAZINE LOOK.
• I ALSO ADDED A PICTURE OF THE CAMERA IN WHICH THE MAGAZINE COVER
IS ADVERTISING.

CANON PROJECT – DEVELOPING THE
SECOND COVER
• I ADDED THE TAGLINES TO THE COVER, THE TAGLINES ARE SPECIFICALLY
TRYING TO SELL THE CAMERA TO THE AUDIENCE.
• THE TAGLINES GO OVER THE CAMERA’S SPECIFICATIONS, THIS
COMMUNICATES THE QUALITY OF THE CAMERA TO THE AUDIENCE.

CANON PROJECT – DEVELOPING THE
SECOND COVER
• FINALLY, I ADDED SOME CONTRAST AND BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENTS TO
THE IMAGE TO MAKE IT LOOK MORE GROUNDED AND VISUALLY
APPEALING.
• I ALSO ADDED ANOTHER IMAGE TO THE MAGAZINE COVER TO FILL IN SOME
EXTRA FREE SPACE.

CANON PROJECT – DEVELOPING THE
SECOND COVER
• THIS IS THE FINISHED PRODUCT.
