2. I cut the background of the image out using the pen tool, I did
this because the background didn't go with my style of
magazine. I also made the image look darker as the image was
very bright, I did this by selecting image option and changing
the brightness and contrast
3. To create the boxes round the text I used the rectangle tool to draw these
round the text. To create the effect for “exclusive interview with the boys”
I cut out the white fill on the text using the Magic wand tool
I also added a drop shadow on the box I did this by selecting the layer
and changing the blending option and adding a drop shadow that would
make the text look effective
4. I added star shapes into my masthead, I did this by selecting the
brush tool, I had downloaded a special brush to look like stars. I
changed the colour of the stars to match my house style so that they
look part of the magazine
5. On the boxes behind the texts I used a drop shadow and a
stroke to make it stand out, I did this by selecting the shape
that I wanted to put these features on and went on blending
options and added each of the features to the boxes
6. I used Rectangles to create my boxes so that they would stand out from all
of the other shapes. I also used red text on the white background as it would
make the text stand out.
