This month’s competition is for a magazine front cover shot – This competition is going to be judged by Caroline and Nick Robertson-Brown. Have a look at some diving magazine covers to get an idea what they will be looking for. You do not have to have a person in the image although a lot of magazine cover shots do.
You will need to use this Photoshop template to assemble your entry. Here is Yo-Han’s video of how to use the template. The steps are as follows:
In Photoshop Elements
- Open the template in Photoshop (I double clicked on the template and it opened in Photoshop automatically).
- Open the picture(s) you want to use.
- Copy/drag the picture onto the template.
- Resize and move the picture around until you’re happy.
- Go to LAYER, ARRANGE and choose SEND TO BACK.
- Save as a JPEG file.
Alternatively in Photoshop CC
- Open the template in Photoshop (I double clicked on the template and it opened in Photoshop automatically).
- File – Place Embedded, select the picture you want to use
- Resize and move the picture around until you’re happy.
- Go to LAYER, ARRANGE and choose SEND TO BACK.
- Save as a JPEG file.
Usual monthly competition rules apply. If you are having difficulty or do not have Photoshop then please send the image you want to use as a JPEG by email to competition@nupg.org.uk Closing Date: Sunday 10th February
