1) 

2) Original Pictures

3) (a) The title, picture and feature  story title is very effective as per my thinking. The news and artwork is pleasing. News crates curiosity because people might want to know who is this guy, what is he good at, and what world record did he made.The artwork looks like real. The picture is very easy to understand, anybody can tell what is the magazine about. The feature story and secondary feature story is very easy to understand as per reading clearity and also thinking. 

     (b)  I wanted to make my magazine name – “SPORTSTAR” to be bigger in order to be visible for everybody. Next I blurred the background of my feature story picture in order to highlight the main picture. I typed the main story title on the main picture to attract the readers eye and also to attract the picture. I typed the secondary story on the bottom of the page because I dont want to highlight that story. I kept other stories on the left because it is not the main story I want to show them.

(Answer 1) 300 dpi will be clearer when printed out at the same size with 72 dpi. dpi = dots per inch and more the dpi will be the picture would be more clearer.

(Answer 2) It will be very blury and we might even don’t see anything. We might see only one big dot.

To isolate the fruit in “fruit_Combo.jpg” I used RECTANGULAR MARQUEE TOOL, ELLIPTICAL MARQUEE TOOL, and MAGNETIC LASSO TOOL. I used RETANGULAR MARQUEE TOOL to cut the 4 sides of the picture. Then I used ELLIPTICAL MARQUEE TOOL to isolate some part in picture. Later I used MAGNETIC LASSO TOOL to cut out the full background.

I found MAGNETIC LASSO TOOL is most effective in this case.

Contract increase the selection. Expand decrease the selection. The feathering make the selection lighter from sides.
