Actually doing it

Right, research is done, planning is done. Now the fun bit comes, doing it.
I'll be using Adobe Photoshop CS2 on a mix of Windows and Mac for the cover and InDesign for the contents page
Evidently more time will need to be spent on Photoshop doing image manipulation for the cover and the background image of the contents page, so a good 6 hours will be spent making everything look as I want it to. I also aim to spend about 1 hour on InDesign actually putting the image(s) in and inputting all the text
The images I'll be using have all come from original photography by myself taken on a digital camera and then uploaded to a computer. The college crest will be a stock image from Mr. Winn

As you can see there are the three images I used, all original photographs apart from the College crest
To actually put it togehter:
  • I created a new A4 size Photoshop doument
  • Opened the image of the College and cropped it down to just the main door
  • Added the cropped main door to the blank A4 document and transfromed it to the correct size
  • Used the Magnetic Lassoo Tool to cut out the image of the student in uniform
  • Copied and pasted the student into the main document and placed him in the designated position
  • Finally, copied in the College crest, pre-cropped
  • I then added all the various texts over these
I will now show each individual layer in the form of print screens
