2. For the first step of my magazine
front cover I inserted a picture. To
do this I went on file, open
selected the picture I wanted and
then dragged it into my (
international a4 size file
document on photoshop)

3. Shape
tool
Paint
bucket
tool
To insert the red box I drawn a
rectangle, made it to the size I
wanted it to be and then filled it in
with the colour red using the paint
bucket tool.

4. Text tool
Step three I added the black italic
writing. To do this I added a text box
and wrote what I wanted to write.

5. Text tool
For my masthead I had to put it on three different layers as I
wanted to make the ‘N’ flip to make it stand out and look
unique. I used the text tool and then used the shift button
and the ‘T’ button to resize them to make them all the same
size. Then I has to link them all together so whenever I
decided I wanted to move it, they would all move together.

6. To add the ‘Katy’ and the ‘ Trip To Success’ I also had to
do them on separate text boxes as I wanted the ‘Katy’
stand out because she is the main image on my magazine
front cover.

7. To add the ‘Exclusive’ I also had to do this on
another layer as it is smaller and it is italic. This
makes it sounds out more so the audience would be
drawn in.

8. Shape
tool
To add the black like I went on the shapes
and just drawn a line. I made it black
therefore it would stand out against the red
writing and green coat.

9. ‘Q&A’ and ‘WHAT DO YOU KNOW’ are also on different
layers as I wanted them both different sizes to make it
stand out better. I linked them together when I finished so
if I moved it or resized it, it would be the same.

10. I added the shape by using the shape tool, and then I put it under
the writing. I made it red as my colour scheme is red and black. I
also added it so it would make the magazine be different and have a
quirky side to it.

11. ‘Ultimate Gig guide’ is on separate layers as i
wanted them a different size. The ‘Ultimate’ is
in red and it is a buzzword and buzzwords are
codes and conventions of a magazine. Therefore
these are what draws the readers in.

12. Florence Revealed is on separate layers as I wanted to make
them different sizes to make them stand out and look
different.

13. ‘WHAT HAPPENS AT V DOESN’T STAY AT V’ is on
separate layers as they are spaced out more and
this makes them stand out. It also adds comedy
into the magazine as the saying ‘what happens
at.... Stays at...’ however this doesn’t stay.

14. To add the barcode I had to get it off google images and
then open it on another page on photoshop, then drag it
onto this page. To resize it I pressed ‘Shift and T’ together.

15. To add the date and the issue number of the magazine i
just added the text box and wrote. I made the writing
small as this is not the main focus of the magazine.
