It would be lovely if every client gave you perfect photos to work with, but all too often this isn’t true. When you get photos that are too small, not visually interesting, or of poor quality you have to get creative. In this tutorial, I’ll take you through an instance where I had to make an A4 magazine cover out of a snapshot from a cheap camera.
This tutorial is following an actual job I did maybe a year ago for one of our charity clients. They had had a couple of documentary film makers out in Vanuatu and had a pretty ordinary photo of them that they wanted for a monthly newsletter/magazine cover.
Note that I’ve scaled the sample PSD and the tutorial images down to a size that works for the Web, the real work was of course done at 300dpi and A4 size and everything was a lot bigger, but that doesn’t really matter for us here.
Here Look the Final Image
