Step 3: Use your text tool , choose an appropriate font and color to type in your masthead title(A). Choose font carefully. Make it bold enough to be a focal point.Use Text effects

Step 4: Keeping the layer highlighted, switch to the move tool, use the transform tool(command T)
to stretch your text to fill the top portion of the cover.

Step 5: Select the type tool, type in the date and number (B).Use a contrasting color and a smaller font. Use the move tool to position it.

Step 6: Using the Text tool, type your feature headline(C). Choose a font that is in contrast to your masthead. Use a bold face and color to make it stand out( Remember text effects ex: drop shadow, outerglow ,inner glow etc).This should grab the attention of the reader . Make the size larger than your article headlines will be.This will highlight the main article.

Step 7:Create 4 different article headlines(D). They should all be the same size and color.You may pop out one or two bold or italic version of the face, or an appropriate contrasting color.Ideas include transform, warp, rotate, skew and  text effects.

Step 8: Cut and Paste in the QR code. Size appropriately.

Note: Watch your spacing, leave a margin around the entire cover at least 1/4", Make sure your text does not overlap, Use color wisely, Edit your image to make sure it is top quality, use effects and blending modes effectively and carefully.

METADATA

DPI-Dots per inch (DPI, or dpi)is a measure of spatial printing or video dot density, in particular the number of individual dots that can be placed in a line within the span of 1 inch (2.54 cm).

A 10 × 10-pixel image on a computer display usually requires many more than 10 × 10 printer dots to accurately reproduce, due to limitations of available ink colors in the printer; here, a 60x60 grid is used, providing 36x the original density, compensating for the printer's lower color depth. The whole blue pixels making up the sphere are reproduced by the printer using different overlaid combinations of cyan, magenta, and black ink, and the light aqua by cyan and yellow with some "white" (ink-free) print pixels within the actual image pixel. When viewed at a more normal distance, the primary colored stippled dots appear to merge into a smoother, more richly colored image.

Pixels per inch (PPI) or pixels per centimeter (PPCM) is a measurement of the pixel density (resolution) of an electronic image device, such as a computer monitor or television display, or image digitizing device such as a camera or image scanner. Horizontal and vertical density are usually the same, as most devices have square pixels, but differ on devices that have non-square pixels.

Calculation of monitor PPI

Theoretically, PPI can be calculated from knowing the diagonal size of the screen in inches and the resolution in pixels (width and height).
 METADATA-Metadata is "data about data".^[1] Two types of metadata exist: structural metadata and descriptive metadata. Structural metadata is data about the containers of data. Descriptive metadata uses individual instances of application data or the data content.

For example, a digital image may include metadata that describe how large the picture is, the color depth, the image resolution, when the image was created, and other data.^[3] A text document's metadata may contain information about how long the document is, who the author is, when the document was written, and a short summary of the document.

Pixels per inch (PPI) or pixels per centimeter (PPCM) is a measurement of the pixel density (resolution) of an electronic image device, such as a computer monitor or television display, or image digitizing device such as a camera or image scanner.

Studio Silhouette

https://www.picturecorrect.com/tips/how-to-create-a-silhouette-photo-with-one-light/

 

Sil·hou·ette [silo͞oˈet] noun: the dark shape and outline of someone or something visible against a lighter background, especially in dim light.

Silhouettes can be a fun and beautiful way to illustrate a scene and are surprisingly easy to create. Photographer Gavin Hoey shows us how to perfect the silhouette with a one light setup:
Hoey tested out four different types of light modifiers on the Streaklight 360 to figure out which ones matches his vision best.

1. bare bulb
2. reflector
3. honeycomb grid
4. conical snoot

Each of the modifiers provided substantially different qualities of light.

The four types of light all shot at 24mm, f/8, 1/60s, ISO 100.

The bare bulb flashed light everywhere and created undesirable shadows in front of the model.
The reflector (similar to using the wide end of zoom on a speedlight flash) contained the light; there was not as much spill as with the bare bulb.
The honeycomb grid and conical snoot sent the light in one direction, creating tighter circles of light that were too small for the look Hoey was going for.
The reflector provided the style Gavin required. The resulting image was good but needed a bit of quick tweaking in Photoshop.

 Silhouette Tweaking in Photoshop

1. In Camera Raw, pull the Blacks slider far to left to create a fully black silhouette.

2. If the Blacks slider has darkened other areas of the photograph, they can be edited using the Adjustment Brush. Increase the exposure and add saturation if necessary.

3. Use the Spot Healing Brush to paint over tripod stand legs or unwanted spots in the photo.


It’s really that easy to create a well-composed and well-lit silhouette!
