Screen grabs of my front cover
For my front cover of my magazine I began editing the colours, playing with effects and just trying to find out something that would look in the background. I began by trying blue colours and seeing how the effects changed it to make it look more professional, but in this colour didn’t work so I had to change it.
This screen grab is the image I am using in the background of my front cover. This was created by using the paint tool and making two big circles, one on top and one below. Once I had done this I tried different effects to see what different ways I could make a professional looking background and this screen grab is the outcome.
After creating the background I went on to add in my magazine name in the top left. I used the colours red and white because in my questionnaire these are the results that were most popular. I used a unique text for the name of my magazine (IMM). I added in a black and red strip in the top right so the top right of the front cover wasn’t just plain. When adding in my main image I to slowly and carefully cut around him so I could use my plain background.
I then began adding different texts in changing the effects on them to see which would look best. I used the outer glow effect on the text as you can see in fig 2. I think this is the most professional looking text that would suit being on my magazine front cover.

After changing the effects and finding out which text I would use I added in the rest of my cover lines and this is my final design of my front cover for my magazine
