Analysis

    When retouching my images, I started by duplicating the layer. The camera raw filter was the next option I chose. The colors in the image were then given a boost by adjusting the highlights. I also changed the shadows in the image because they obscured most of my model's face and made it difficult to view it well. I used the smudge brush and lasso tool to eliminate any undesirable things from my photo after adjusting the colors and shadows.

    To create my magazine, I utilized Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign. I encountered various difficulties because I was unfamiliar with the program before making this magazine. I improved as I utilized it more frequently. I used the "Ranked Sports" font in size 76 and white for my masthead. I attempted to achieve an athletic look with my typography. As the majority of my shots were dark, I utilized Photoshop to brighten them and give them a pleasing and colorful appearance. I selected these images because the subject of my magazine—young black men—will be able to identify with them.

Analysis:

 The model was a young black teen. These pictures were taken by the school's weight room. The photos were taken on an iPhone 6s. The model had on black shorts and a sleeveless white tank top as he was working out in the gym. There were some restrictions because I was unable to capture him working out on a real football field. Another was that he wasn't wearing the football gear I wanted to see him in.
