1. Firstly to create this stage of the magazine cover I used the shape tool (to create the background by
using a rectangle), the magic wand tool (to cut out the image from the original background) and
colour overlay (to change the colour of the masthead). I hadn’t used the colour overlay tool to
change to colour if my text before so I feel this can be exploited and improved to make my magazine
the look professional so I can make other images etc apply to my colours scheme. I like the position
of the main image as I feel it fits in with the rule of thirds and apply with the house style of
magazines making it look more professional. Ifeel the black background relates to the target
audience as they are seen to be emo and gothic therefore they would appreciate the dark colour.
