2. I copy and pasted my
ideal front cover photo
into the document
3. I then added a graphic
on which I will place my
masthead, using the
brush tool and different
shades of grey
4. I then used the text tool
to type out my
masthead, then used a
pattern overlay, stroke
effect and held the Ctrl
key and clicked on layer
to draw inside the font
and create the speckled
effect I have
5. I then used the box
tool to create the
shape and the Ctrl+T
to rotate it. I also
changed the opacity
of the shape in the
options at the top
6. I then used the text tool
to create my cover line, I
then used Ctrl+click on
layer, the stroke effect
and an outer glow
7. I then repeated for
the rest of my cover
lines and then made
the outer glow
bigger on the bottom
line
8. I then used an
online barcode
generator to
create a barcode
and added my
issue number and
date
9. I then used a brush
with a stroke effect
to create the design
at the bottom
