2. The first thing I did to create my college magazine front cover was open
Photoshop - to create a new document. I then transferred my picture I
took onto Photoshop, making my first layer.
3. After creating the first layer I then added my masthead which was 'Priestley
Plus'
4. I made the title into a font that will stand out from the other writing on the
magazine with a unique font.
5. After doing that, I added a dateline at the top of the magazine - I added the month and year
which wasn't on the rough cover since it shows the reader/buyer what issue this magazine
was purchased. I also added the cover lines - on my rough layout I made the subtitles of the
masthead the same as the information. I have changed the color of the text to make it easier
to read each section for the buyer/reader.
6. I also added a cover line on the right hand side just like the rough
layout. Next, I selected shapes and added a star shape splash to my magazine
which is larger than my rough layout since it will stand out more rather than
my layout one.
7. The last thing I added was the barcode, I have not made many changes to
my magazine since it is fairly the same from the rough sketch/layout I
made earlier.
