The document describes the stages of production for a magazine cover. It discusses adjusting the brightness and contrast of the main image to make it more appealing. It also discusses adding a large masthead across the top third of the page and over the actor's head to grab readers' attention. Next, it describes adding a yellow banner across the page and placing black text within it so the text stands out to readers. Finally, it notes adding cover lines, text, and a barcode, following a mainly white and red color scheme with other colors added for variety.

2. I changed the contrast and brightness for my
main image, so it looks more appealing and
doesn’t look so washed away. This image will
jump out at the reader and promote the main
artist.

3. Once I got my picture looking more
professional, I then added the masthead.
At first I did it small, but then I released
that the masthead needed to scream at
the reader, so I made it go across the
page and on top of the actor’s
head, sticking to the rule of thirds.

4. I then added a yellow filled rectangle and
rotated it anti-clockwise to create a banner
like shape going across the page. Then after
this, I added and cropped my chosen font and
put it in the yellow banner. I chose the colour
yellow so that the black font could stand out
and jump out to the reader. And after this I
added the barcode in.

5. I then added the cover lines and text. I
mainly have a white and red colour
scheme, I added other colours to add
variety within the cover.
