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.
