Changing the background

• I changed my background pre-set to grey because I felt it would make my main image and text stand out more than white would.

• I used this tool to create a shape around the A4 sheet and then filled that shape in grey.

Manipulating images

Background eraser

I used an unedited image that I had originally taken for my preliminary task and opened it on to my A4 cover. I then used the background eraser tool and the pen tool to remove the unnecessary background from the image

Adding a masthead

Adding magazine information

I stuck to two main fonts throughout my magazine; one of them was Goudy Stout. I used Goudy Stout for the first word in my masthead and continued to use it as the title for my coverlines.

Adding a barcode

I saved an image of a barcode into my documents then opened it up on to this document as a new layer.

Adding a puff

Adding a puff• I then added text to my

puff. I continued to use the Goudy Stout text for the 25% OFF section and then continued to use the Kalinga font for the rest of the puff information.

Adding cover lines

Adding cover lines

• I’ve added three cover lines to my front cover. I’ve tried to keep them an appropriate size to keep it off the image. I’ve used a size 20 font for the titles of the masthead and then a size 18 for the extra information underneath the masthead.

Final front cover.
