Editing in iphoto:



Once in Photoshop:


I edited the chosen photo even further, by using a filter and also adjusting the brightness and contrast. As I had decided to retouch and cover up the lettering at the top of the guitar, I used the same font as the name of the magazine on the front cover to use as a title for the contents page. After looking at other music magazines I realised that rarely do they actually have the title of 'Contents', so instead I decided to use 'In this issue'. I made the font white by using the magic wand tool, and the paint bucket and then used free transform and the rectangle tool to adjust the size and placement of the text to my liking. I made the top line of text slightly bigger as the photo was taken from a certain angle, to make it look like it is actually printed on the guitar itself. 
I wanted the contents page to be coherent with what I've done so far on the front cover, so the editing i've used has tried to mimic the editing used for the front cover. I also used the same guitar that was used in the front cover, and the photos were taken in the same place that the chosen front cover photo was taken.
