What happens when you paint part of the layer mask
…black? …white? …grey?

When I paint part of the layer mask black it reveals the picture hidden in the back.

When I paint part of the layer mask white it reveals the picture in the picture that was in the front before and got painted black.

When I paint part of the layer mask grey it becomes partially transparent. It makes the front picture transparent so both pictures are visable in a blending way.

a) What qualities of your magazine cover make it effective? (eg. What makes it eye catching?, What about it promotes curiosity?, How is it visually pleasing?, What makes it easy to understand?)

      The qualities that made my magazine cover effective were the pink backround that I posted the image on. It really brings out the magazine and makes it stand out and eye catching. Also the different types of font that I used with the different shades of the pinky colour I used would bring out the magazine alot because of the bright colours. Something that would promote my magazine is the slogans I used because they really make a person want to read the magazine. For example, find out what Rihanna’s secret is.  This really made the magazine stand out and would really bring people’s attention towards my magazine from far. I also think that i made a good choice by using a close up of Rihanna because if I used a full image of someone I don’t think this magazine would be as effective. This picture looks visually pleasuring because Rihanna looks gorgeous and her face really comes out of the magazine. It looks amazing that someone can look this pretty. The magazine is easy to understand because the colours are bright and they are easily visable.

b) What was the order of hierarchy you were trying to achieve for the elements on your magazine cover?

       The order of hierarchy I was trying to achieve was in the following order.

a)Rihanna’s image (face)

b)Main story line

c)Title

d)The rest of the story lines

e)Last touches around the magazine–(barcode, date,website,price)
