Experimenting on Photoshop - Filters

Front Cover Image Design with "Torn Edges" Filter
I chose this filter because it makes my main image look almost like a silhouette. I wanted the audience to not feel attatched to the artist because the artist is so emotionally involved with his music, it shouldn't matter whether he's famous or not.


Front Cover Image Design with "Plaster" Filter
This filter seemed effective because of the metallic effect it gave to my main image. I liked this because not only did it give my artist silhouette image again, it make the guitar look almost like a 'trophy'. It's as if the guitar is essential in his life, it is the 'key' to his music. I feel this filter highlighted the guitar more.


Front Cover Image Design with "Dark Strokes" Filter
This filter is really good because it makes my main image almost look like a painting. I like this feature because that is the message I want to send out to my audience - that soul music is like an art. This is also affective becausemy artist isn't looking at the camera. He's so emersed in his guitar it shows a certain degree of sophistication.


Front Cover Image Design with "Conte Crayon" Filter
This filter is interesting it makes my main image black and white, similar to the Plaster filter. I like this because it looks pretty sophisticated. It suggests that it doesn't need colour, that image itself is powerful enough to attract audience to my magazine.


Front Cover Image Design with "Cut Out" Filter
The same as the Dark Strokes filter only a darker shade. I like this filter a little bit more because the background isn't too bright that it would distract from the main image. It's easy on the eye and looks very deep an sophisticated.
