As mentioned throughout this blog, I have always wanted to use a stark, laid-over design on the front cover of my magazine. Not only is this to add to my magazine's mise-en-scene but it is also so that I can have a piece of artwork on the front cover to promote the work of the graphic artist Gary Downing, who will is being interviewed in the double page spread. I created this image using two of my original images and merging them together using Adobe Photoshop. To do this, I used many various tools such as the cloning tool, magic wand tool, blur tool and many others. I also added many filters to the image, such as the film grain filter, in order to give the image it's stark, cutting-edge look. This will be the dominant image for my front cover and I feel it is relevant because it includes an image of the Wearmouth Bridge, which is an iconic location in Sunderland and will be instantly recognized by the magazine's demographic.
These are the two original images which were collaborated together to create the front cover's dominant image. The model's image was in essence used as a template for which the other image could be placed. The extent of which I have edited the images can be seen within the contrast between the original images and the end result of the main dominant image.
My main influence for this front cover image was a piece of artwork associated with HBO's true detective. There are many similarities between this image and my dominant image, as it was my main inspiration;
