1. Front Cover Design - Draft

2. I firstly increased the image size so
it would fit on an A4 page, leaving
room for a strapline.

3. I coloured the strapline using the
Rectangle Tool to change it to
black.

4. The same step was repeated for the
top of the image.

5. Then I went on to the
Horizontal Type Tool and
chose the font ‘Postinkantaja
Job’ to be placed on the top
left hand corner of the image.

6. I used Horizontal Type Tool again for
the cover stories. For the main
story, I chose the font Franchise,
and for the quotes above them, I
chose Humanist 521.

7. By clicking on to the
Foreground/Background colour, I changed
the colour from the Foreground to be
White instead of black.

8. Here is the final font size of the main Cover
Story.

9. Here is how to get Drop Shadow on
a text.

10. I used the Drop Shadow to make
sure that the text could be visibly
seen and so it was bold and eye
catching.

11. For graphics, I went on the Ellipse Tool
and selected a circle and painted it
black.

12. I added two circles, using the
Ellipse Tool where the smaller
one will overlap and be a
white colour.

13. Here is what colour,
what font type and
size I used for the
‘Exclusive Interview’.

14. To make changes to the Font
of my magazine logo, I right
clicked the layer it was in and
selected ‘Rasterize Type’.

15. Then I
clicked on to
the Eraser
Tool and
removed the
black marks
produced by
the font.

16. This is an example of a Pull Out
Quote I inserted, showing the fonts
and the font size I used.

17. Here is just showing how I
positioned the text.

18. Using the Nicotine font, I then placed
the topics that would be on the
Strapline of the magazine.

19. Using the text box I created a
line to separate the cover
stories.

20. How I positioned the text
on to the circle.

21. Again, using the Ellipse
Tool I made a black dot
and placed it on the edge
of the circle.

22. To make sure all the black circles
were the same size I right clicked
on the layer where one of the
circles was created in, and selected
‘Duplicate Layer’.

23. For ‘&’ I used the ‘Colors of
Autumn’ font.

24. I added Drop Shadow to the
article about Leah because it
was difficult to see the text
before.

25. I clicked on the rectangle tool to
create a bold white line, so
visually it looks like the different
stories are separated and not
confusing for the reader of the
magazine.
