Analysis:

This image shows a pair of legs and a skate board on a green blurred background. The background is blurred to show movement of the skate board and person. This is effective because it makes the image more interesting and create a sense of movement to the photograph.

Magazine sample:

I used photo shop to create this magazine front cover. For the main image i decided to pick a well known celebrity girl band (Girls Aloud) this will attract my target audience which is females over 16. For my masthead i choose to copy a successful magazine title "OK!" the slogan reflects the strap lines and image "first for celebrity news." You can see i kept the colour scheme the same throughout the whole magazine cover. which makes it look professional and realistic.

On photo shop i used the magnetic lasso tool to cut out my images and remove the background from them to add them to my magazine. You can see Ive done this with the image in the top right hand corner of my magzine.
