For this project I decided to do what looked like a magazine cover for my fitness blog. I included the photo of the weights in the background to give an athletic feel, making it very easy to tell what this magazine was about. I tried to make the photo in the background very pronounced and dramatic, then used the smaller photos with a lower opacity percentage to make them fade in the main picture. It was a challenge for me to put this together. I am not the most computer tech savvy person you’ll meet, it takes me a long time to understand certain software and I had to go back and watch the videos for the tutorials we did last week. After re-watching the videos, I felt as if I used most of the techniques we were taught, then tried to add some of my own.
I obtained my photos by looking online for free photos that I could use to resemble a weight room. There I found the background, then looked for a logo of the gym I most frequently used. The Gold’s gym logo that I placed on the top left corner is something very important to me, it is the gym that I found my passion for working out. It is where I have made many friends that I will hold close to my heart for a lifetime. Then, the photos that are of my one of my friends used for his app, Train Centric. If you scroll down, you will see where I gathered his permission to use these. Thank you so much for reading! Feel free to leave comments about tips / any helpful hints to help me with this software.
