2. I started with a plain black background
and then added on the image I had
planned to use for my front cover, I
have already edited this image through
sharpening it so it stops it being blurred
and makes the image more
professional.
3. I then added in a box and put a
gradient effect on it, then added
another rectangle in black to
give the magazine a more
stylish design. I added in the
‘undiscover’ masthead.
4. I then added in the two coverlines in this top area and a third one in the corner
of the image. I also added in the dateline which includes the magazine issue
and the bar code etc.
5. Next I added in a circle which included information on the competition that uses web 2.0 which is
further explained on page 17. The dark blue colour fits in well with the house colours and also the
image.
6. Lastly, I added the main coverline which is promoting the
interview with Hallowed People and I also included another
coverline in a white box which adds more light to the front cover.
