Odin Magazine Cover: Editing Process

For the editing process of our magazine covers we decided to create a time lapse of the cover being create on Photoshop. It starts off with a pre made template which we used for all of our magazine covers. The template features the Empire Magazine logo at the top with our tagline "You think the war is over?" above it. It also features a slanted band which will feature the other magazine covers and the title of the film "Rebellion II: Rise of Kronos" above that. The template also includes sell lines such as "The long awaited sequel is finally here" and "We talk to the mind behind Rebellion". We then cropped out a part of an image of London which was originally created for London Has Fallen, which is similar to our film. We also had to adjust the layers so that the image is in the background. We then inserted a pre-masked image of Odin (Charlie) and used the Free Transform tool to resize him and put him in a position where his head covers part of the Empire logo. We then readjusted the layers so that he would be standing in front of the Empire logo but behind the rest of the template. We then put in some smoke in front of Charlie to show that he is in a dangerous situation which is further supported by the building on fire behind him. We then inserted the magazine covers for the other characters. We had to rotate and resize them to fit in the white squares in the slanted band. After then inserted sell lines such "World First!" and "Meet Odin", as well as a barcode, our magazine cover was finished.
