1. Firstly I opened Adobe
Photoshop CS6 to start editing
images for my school magazine
2. I created a template for the
size I want the magazine to
be.
3. To change the background of
my magazine cover I pressed
the “gradient tool”
I then pressed on the
“colour picker” option and
chose my colour for the
background and once that
is done the background
will fade from the colour I
chose to white
4. I used two different text tools to
create my masthead. One of the
layers for “THE” and another for
“School Update”. I could then
choose the font I wanted and the
colour of the text
5. I then inserted the image I
was going to use for the front
cover of the magazine and
then dragged it on to the
canvas.
6. To get rid of the background
surrounding the image I
used the lasso tool which
allowed me to draw around
the image and cut out
anything that was
unwanted. This meant I
could re-scale and resize the
image to what I wanted
7. I then used the text tool to
create the coverline for the
magazine and changed the font
colour to white
8. To make a graphic feature for the
front cover I used the shape tool
to insert a star shape and then
entered a new layer using the text
tool to right inside the shape
saying “its a new term”
9. I then made four more
shapes using the shape tool
of a normal square for the
other coverlines that will be
in the magazines. After I had
done this I made four
different layers for the boxes
to have their other
coverlines using the text tool
10. Then I entered a image of a
barcode to place at the
bottom left hand side of
the magazine
