The qualities of my magazine cover that make it effective are the light background which makes the objects and characters in the cover stand out. The letters are also clear due to the colour. Theres not alot of things going on so its easy to see the main story and second story.
The order of hierarchy is the 2 characters first, followed by the title and then the main story(top right) followed by the second story (bottom left).
1. A 300 dpi image would be much clearer then a 72dpi image. The 300 dpi image would be almost photographic. The more dpi there is, the more clear the picture would be.
2. A picture created with one dpi would be like a blurr. There wouldnt be much colour definition and the image wouldn’t be smooth.

Fruit bowl 3 (magnetic lasso)
Magnetic lasso
1. I used the Magnetic lasso tool and a bit of the eraser tool. I used the magnetic tool for everything but the dark shadow remained so i had to use the eraser tool to get rid of it.
2. I found the magnetic lasso tool the most effective and quickest. It was very simple aswell.
3. If you expand the selection, the marquee becomes greater by however many pixels you set it as. If you contract the selection, the marquee becomes smaller by however many pixels you set it as. Feathering rounds off the selection and fades the edges a bit by the set amount of pixels.
