I have been hired as a Graphic Designer and I am supposed to make a magazine of images for Salford college. The magazine is called City Life.

The images what are needed are scenery around Salford college such as the animals, people, canteen and social area.

The final images is going to be edited in a software called Photoshop and will be saved in the correct file such as a JPEG Image file.

Salford City College

The aim of the project is to show life at Salford city college which is going to be used as part of a magazine. I am going to take pictures around the college, edit them load them into my magazine. The magazine will be called City Life.

Salford city college is a college in Salford it is made up of 5 colleges these are, Eccles sixth form centre, Walkden sixth form centre, Pendleton sixth form centre, Future skills, City sixth form centre. In all of these college’s they offer great courses to choose from this is why they are the best 5 colleges around the area. They also have a (outstanding) pass rate for all the A level courses and the BTEC courses.

These are my 5 images what I have took around the Eccles campus these are different parts of the building and outside of the building. I have took different pictures of different objects I try to get a mixture of images

Here is the first starting image of the sign I have done some editing to make it better ill tell you what I did. I went on filter then sketch and clicked on charcoal this effect makes it black and white as you can see in the picture provided.

Here is the same picture again but I have done different adjustments to it. I used the crop tool to just get close to the picture. I also used the lasso tool this lets you get rid of things in the picture. As you can see there were feet in the first one but in the second one I got rid of the feet by using the lasso tool.

I started off with a basic picture and I made changes to it in the black version of the picture. On the right you can see the tools I have used. I used black and white, Curves tool, And I rotated my picture by using the rotation button. It turned out like that, I am happy i did because I like the dark bits on the floor and also on the walls and doors etc.

These are the 3 adjustments what I used for my image change.

I used the ‘move’ tool to blur the picture.

Once I have access to the tool I can click on the picture where I want to blur it.

I also moved the contrast bar to make it black and white

I used the contrast tool to change the color

This is my crop tool I use to get rid of some of the image

This is a smudge tool I have used and I have smudged some of the road markings.
