Using the original Empire magazine cover, we tried to create our own version on Photoshop. To do this we had to use cameras to take our own pictures, making them as similar to the real ones as possible. We then brought them all together and added texts and backgrounds. The lighting on the original was more dramatic and hard to create just using the camera so therefore we had to edit it on Photoshop aswell.By testing this out, we learnt how to use Photoshop better and descovered new technigues, like the changing the lighting. This will help us when we come to creating our own magazine cover and poster for our promotional package.
Blossom lives in a one bedroom apartment with her junky mother and abusive step-father. She is bullied at school and invisible to her teachers. Having been pushed around and abused for her entire life, Blossom’s confidence is rock bottom and her will to fight back is non-existent. Until one of the popular guys at her school, James approaches her kindly after witnessing her being hit by her step-father. They soon become friends as he teaches her to stand up for herself and find a way out of her nightmare home-life. However, their friendship doesn't go down well with James's clique and results in him taking part in the bullying. After things at home continue to get worse for Blossom, James eventually realises his mistake.
