I did an ESLR poster. I used the school colors to put the School wide learning results and added a colorful background do make it less boring and to add a bit of depth. I also used a much more interesting font, instead of a common one.

Deep Space Monthly Magazine cover.


I chose this topic for my magazine because I have always found space very interesting. I am always
amazed at how colorful nebulae and how awe inspiring space is as a whole. I used this time magazine as my example because it is a simple cover, and is a famous magazine that I am familiar with. It has one large image with words along one side with a large title. I added another image along with the mandatory photo because the cover seemed empty without them. I tried to add balance to the magazine by having the large space station on the opposite side of the words. I used clipping masks to give the words a bit of a pattern for both the headlines and the name of the magazine. I used the white space shuttle along with the telescope to add contrast, making them stand out. I trued to use a variety of colors that are all found in space and make it as vibrant as possible. As for tools used, i used the selection tool, the text tool, inverse of selection, clipping masks and layer masks on the images.

Books I've read

This collage is of several of the books i have read. I started with a background of a aisle in a library with shelves on each side and stretched it to take up the entire screen. After that I used the levels and the contrast  layers to make the background more distinguished.  I then took several book covers of my favorite books and placed them on the background. I lowered the opacity of each individual cover and increased their size around the collage to give make sure all of them were easily visable. I also tried some of effects on each one but ended up just putting the background on top and painting through to reveal the pictures but leaving a few parts of the image covered. I then took a picture that i had already edited and put it in the center of the picture.
