This lesson was a lot more productive me and Yarohey decided to work with what we had. Surprisingly we got a lot done, we figured out what our main cover image would be and the name of the magazine, which we decided would be called "Diverse" because we would be creating a new genre and it was quite different from everything that is out there at the moment. We also after a long time figured out what background would look best behind the main cover image we decided on a brick wall to show that our magazine had an urban feel to it. Once we had our brick wall we resized and then dragged it on to our cover, rearranged the layers and voila we had a background.
Most of our time this lesson was spent lassoing the main image we wanted out of its background, which was extremely time consuming. What we had try to do befor was to use the magic wand but because we had ignored well given advice and chose to take our pictures anywhere but on a blank canvas this proved to be impossible. So Mary told us that we would have to use the lassoo, which worked in the end thankfully.
Due to not having many images to work with we then decided to make the issue a violinists issue because most of the pictures took were with violins, this I think worked to our advantage because I was aware of many artists who were "street violinists" so fitted in with the genre that we had created and could be included in the magazine.
All in all, it was a better lesson than last week because we actually done something, hopefully next lesson will be just as productive.
