The document describes the steps taken to create a front cover in InDesign. The creator opened an A4 page and adjusted the margins, added a masthead using layered colors and fonts from a color palette. They then added the title, background image, cover lines using different fonts and colors, a black rectangle behind text, more cover lines, a barcode, tagline, and issue number.

1. Creating my front cover

2. I firstly open an A4
page in InDesign
I also adjusted the
margins to be
12mm

3. I then started the
add my masthead
by using the
made_tommy font
and layering
different colours,
using my colour
palette

4. I added the title to
the top of the page
and used different
layers to create the
effect.

5. I then added the
background for an
image I previously
edited.

6. I added my main
cover line using the
coco goose font and
used a lighter pink
from my colour
pallet to match the
pink balloon

7. I then added more
to my cover line and
the text for my puff
I also added a black
rectangle using the
shape tool to add
behind the text so it
stands out. I
lowered the opacity
of it, so it stands
out.

8. I then added the
rest of my cover
lines. I used a colour
from my colour
scheme that was a
similar lighter colour
to the balloon.

9. I then added my
barcode to the
bottom left corner
of the front cover

10. I then added a
tagline using the
made tommy font
under the masthead
I also added an
issue number next
to my barcode
