1. I start with a picture of my boyfriend in front of a pale wall, holding
a whiteboard with a wooden frame.
I lighten and up the contrast on the picture with curves and use the
clone tool to remove all detail around him.
2. I crop the picture to the appropriate size and then I use Brighten
and Contrast to bring out a bit more colour. I also remove the lens
flare.
I then add my Masthead and other details; the font was taken from
www.dafont.com
3. I then create and new layer and use the pen tool to draw a picture
onto the whiteboard. I stroke the path with creates a clean line.
I then add colour to the picture and remove any colour that is not
on the whiteboard.
4. I then add another smaller picture of to the cover to add depth to a
featured article.
I then add the main article, slogo and cover lines.
5. I then add more featured articles and an advertisement at the
bottom.
