Starting my front cover using photoshop.

At this stage I still had no idea how to properly use photoshop or indesign. I wanted to try out photoshop for my first go as I was going to be shown the basics of how to use the software. I didn't know how to even duplicate a layer, let alone do anything else. I watched a few video's on youtube of how to do some of the basics like cut out an image, and was also shown how to place an image on top of and underneath text. The first step I did was cut out my model posing as Amy from the background. I did this in photoshop by using the magnetic lasso tool. I then dragged her on to a blank document which had my masthead of G.L.A.M on. I then had to move her around to see where was best to place her.
