2. To make surethat my colour
schemed matched I used a
tool calledtheeyedropper
tool. This helps to makesure
I use the same shadeofred
on each part andtherefore
make the colour scheme
match.
To get the text behind
the imageI moved the
layer with theimage
above thelayer ofthe
text.
The font that I used
was ethnocentric in
size 135 as I feelthis
should bethemost
eye catching part of
the front cover and
thereforeneeded to
be in a largesize. The
reason I chosethe
font and colour was
because I think it fits
in well with thegenre
ofindie rock and also
fits in wellwith the
style ofthe models in
the photograph I also
made it black
because it contrasted
with the white
background.
The next step to
producing my
magazinewas toadd
a masthead for this I
looked at thesheet
ofmastheads I had
already
experimented with
and choose mybest
one I then added this
onto Photoshop by
adding a textbox
which I thenchanged
the colour, font of
the text.
To crop my image I used
the quick selection tool
to remove the parts of
the background I didn’t
want. The reason I did
this was because I felt
the background didn’t
suit the genre of
magazine therefore by
removing the
background I could then
chose which colour/
background I wanted. I
feel that a plain
background would suit
my magazine best.
colour to attract
the reader.I then
put the ‘exclusive’
in black sothatit
would contrast
with the white
background.
Finally for the last
step I added small
adjustments to my
magazine front cover
which I used photo-
shop to do. I decided
to place a barcode in
the bottom left
corner to make it
look like a realistic
magazine and I also
decided to add small
information such as
the price so people
would be able to see
the price before
purchasing.
I then added the
issue number and
date so people
who will buy the
magazinewill
know how recent
the information
is.
