Front Cover Edit

I took multiple photos of Fox & The Hound in various settings and different lightings in order to have a wide range of images to choose from. I selected a fairly simple photo of the band at the top of a hill with the sun behind them and edited it accordingly.


This was what the image looked like before it was edited. First I cropped the image, so that it was portrait rather than landscape, as this is the layout of a magazine front cover. I used 'lighten' to make the picture brighter so that their faces were more clear. I also boosted the colours to make them clearer and more vibrant. I like how the blue of the sky gets lighter and more yellow around their figures, because it makes them stand out, creating more of an impact to draw the reader in. I lowered the contrast and added saturation bringing out the colours further, but avoided saturating skin colour to avoid them looking animated. I boosted the definition and highlights to make their faces clearer and add depth to the colour in the image making it further stand out.
