GRAPHIC DESIGN IN PHOTOSHOPShowing the development of how I have created the graphics on my college magazine front cover

FIRST STEP: TOOLS

I have chosen the brush tool to draw around the image because I found that the most well-suited for my front cover.Then I changed the size of the brush as it was too large for the image. So, the final size was 15 pixels.

SECOND STEP: LAYERSI learnt that it is very useful to make layers in Photoshop. It makes the construction much easier, thus this step is very important.

I made a layer for every figure and object on the photograph,

so if I make a mistake I can easily delete the previous

step rather than needing to delete the whole outline I

have done so far.

THIRD STEPS: THE DRAWING OF OUTLINES

FOURTH STEP: ADDING A BLACK BACKGROUND

FINAL STEP: ADDING LINES BEHIND

I added bright pink, light and dark blue lines

behind the figures. So, the finished

image stands out.

This took me about an hour to do and through trial and error I found the best brush to use. This is how I learnt this new skill in Photoshop.
