Eraser Technique


This is the eraser technique. To improve magazine from my last one i have decided to use the eraser on paint.net. Paint.net is a site where you import photos and you can use effects and styles to change the photos appearence. This is my original photo. The photo i used on my Front cover.

This is after i had used the eraser technique on my photo. As you can see the eraser effect on paint.net removes the background around your picture and puts its focus on the image itself. What i have also done is use something called feather, this is an effect where you take the outter line of the photo and make it less pixelated. This helps the image set in and it also looks much better, the feather technique removes all the sharpe edges of the photo to make them much more smooth. I decided to use this technique and put it with my Masthead.
Here is the image positioned infront of my Masthead. I have done this because you see in most magazines the main image is infront of the masthead but also with no background for example
As you can see here the image of the band or the person in covering the Masthead. They do this because the magazine brand (Kerrang) are not affraid to do this, they no the public no the magazine title/brand so much that they dont need a mass amount of space for the Masthead so they can cover it with the main image.
