In order to get the masthead, 'Empire logo' had to be typed into Google so that the best one could be chosen for the magazine cover. One was chosen that looked like the official Empire logo and in order to get the biggest pixel so that the font wouldn't come out blurry, I clicked on 'click on view image'. I wouldn't want the masthead looking blurry on the magazine front cover else it wouldn't look realistic to a reader seeing it and it would ruin the look of the magazine cover. Empire is a well known established magazine so my group and I wanted it to seem as though we had an issue out with this magazine. The masthead was imported into Photoshop and it came out massive because of it's size. In order to reduce the size, Ctrl+T was used to transform the image so that it could fit into the page; the second and third print screen are representative of this happening. It was shrunken just enough so that it would be easy to get rid of all the other text on the page we imported. To get just the Empire logo, the rectangular marque tool was used to cut around the part of the text. The barcode and other texts weren't needed so the rectangular marque tool just made sure that the Empire logo was the only thing that was being cut out. The image chosen in Google was chosen because the logo was on a black background. The black background made it easier as all we had to do was cut out the masthead and it would be there on the magazine cover and little had to be done to it as it matched the background for my magazine cover already. If it was on a white background more problems would arise as we would then have to fit in the gaps with black colour or cut out the letters individually but there would be little time to do this.
