1. When I placed my image I
typically thought that the image
should be placed on the centre
of the page, the colour of the
background came from the
colours of the image I went for a
gradient of black and white
because it looks like he’s jumping
out the screen and this makes it
engage the readers because its
eye-catching.
Next I thought of a suitable title I
went with the colour red because
I believe this colour stands out
and contradicts the other colours,
I followed it with a black outline
using the fx tool this helped to
identify the thickness of my outline
I created the z by using the
freeform pen tool by creating a
slanted line and again using a fx
tool to contouring the letter

2. I then found a barcode image of the internet and I saved this image on my computer and then I
placed it onto the page and moved it around the page using the move tool and I decided it looked
best on the bottom left hand corner.
I then made created a strip along the bottom by filling a rectangle with the colour black and then
writing a text within this black strip.

3. I next though about coverlines and my main coverline which I wanted to be bold to create the
‘Exclusive’ I used another layer and I used the fx tool and then created ‘Chris & Rihanna by changing
the font.
Around this main coverline Iplaced other cover lines and I also added a pull out quote from my
double page spread this was simply created by using the text tool.
