Newspaper advert production

To start with we photograph what we wanted for the newspaper advert using a camera and we then inserted it into Photoshop to be edited. We used the eraser tool to neaten the edges of the image after it had been cut out to get rid of any of the background that had not been removed.

We used the magnetic lasso tool to cut the image out of the background so that we just had the retired lady on the mobility scooter

We used the shape tool to add a grey box for the slogan Its just a number We used the text tool to add the title of the program, slogan and time to the advert.

We used the Magnetic Lasso Tool to cut out the flame on the Bunson burner. We then copied and pasted it into the Photoshop file with the newspaper advert in.

We used the colour picking tool to pick up the background colour of the number plate. We then used the paint brush tool to colour over the NO1 OAP that was written on the number plate using the yellow colour.

We layered the image of the flames behind the mobility scooter and used the paint bucket to fill the background layer black so that the flames were more visible.

We then used the text tool to re-write NO1 OAP to make it look like a real number plate.

This is the finished advert after the channel 4 logo was inserted as an image from the internet.
