Sports Illustrated: Lesean Mccoy

       This is my fourth assignment in my Multimedia Productions class. In this assignment we were to use Photoshop to create our own magazine cover, based off of on that was already made. I choose to do this cover because the Philadelphia Eagles are my favorite football team, and Lesean Mccoy is my favorite player. Also, I choose to create another Sports Illustrated Magazine cover because it is the only magazine that I read.
      In order to create this magazine cover, I saved the Eagles football field to my flash drive, opened it up in Photoshop, then dragged it onto the cover, making it my background. This was after I used the magic wand tool to delete the white background I started out with. Then I dragged in my picture of Lesean Mccoy, and used my eraser tool to get rid of/erase the part of the picture I did not need. Next, I found a picture of a Sports Illustrated cover, and used the rectangular marquee too to select only the words. After selecting the words, I copied and pasted it onto my cover, and placed it just under my picture of Lesean Mccoy. Then I found a picture of Claude Giroux and Danny Briere and used the eraser tool to touch it up. Finally, I used the text tool to apply some captions on my cover.
