The document describes the design process for a magazine cover. The designer smoothed the model's hair in the cover photo, used a pink background to match the model's pink shirt, and added the magazine title "Beat" in Magneto font. Additional elements were added following the pink and black color scheme, including free poster advertisements and a website URL at the bottom. Text with issue details and a barcode were also included to complete the professional look of the magazine cover while keeping a consistent style throughout.

1. FIRSTLY, THIS WAS THE IMAGE I CHOSE TO USE FOR MY FRONT COVER. I EDITED IT BY SMOOTHING DOWN THE MODELS HAIR AS IN THE ORIGINAL PHOTO THE MODEL HAD FLY AWAY HAIR. I CHOSE TO HAVE A PINK BACKGROUND BECAUSE THE MODEL IS WEARING A PINK SHIRT. I USED THE EYEDROPPER TOOL TO MATCH A SHADE OF PINK FROM HER TOP TO THE BACKGROUND.

2. I HAVE NOW ADDED THE NAME OF MY MAGAZINE. I CHOSE THIS TITLE BECAUSE I’M DOING A MUSIC MAGAZINE SO BEAT IS AN APPROPRIATE NAME. I CHOSE THE FONT MAGNETO BECAUSE I THINK IT STANDS OUT. I ADDED EFFECTS SUCH AS INNER AND OUTER GLOW AND BEVEL AND EMBOSS. I CHOSE MY HEADLINE BECAUSE I THINK IT WOULD ATTRACT THE TARGET AUDIENCE. I CHOSE THE SHADE OF PINK TO STICK WITH MY BACKGROUND THEME AND BLACK TO MAKE IT STAND OUT MORE.

3. I HAVE ADDED TYPICAL FEATURES OF A MAGAZINE BY ADVERTISING FREE POSTERS WHICH WOULD ATTRACT MY TARGET AUDIENCE. THE COLOURS ARE PINK AND BLACK WHICH IS MY COLOUR SCHEME. THE FONT IS CONTINUOUS THROUGH OUT MY FRONT COVER. I HAVE USED MAGNETO AND HOBO STD AS FONTS. I HAVE ADDED A WEBSITE ADVERTISEMENT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MAGAZINE WHICH ENCOURAGES READER TO VISIT IT TO FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION AND STORIES ABOUT MY MAGAZINE.

4. I HAVE NOW ADDED THE REST OF THE TEXT TO MY MAGAZINE. I ADDED MY SUBSTORIES, DATE AND ISSUE OF THE MAGAZINE. I ALSO ADDED A BARCODE WHICH MAKES THE MAGAZINE LOOK MORE PROFESSIONAL. I HAVE STUCK TO SIMILAR COLOURS, FONTS AND STYLE THROUGHOUT SO THE PAGE DOES NOT LOOK OVERCROWDED AND THERE IS JUST A FEW COLOURS AND FONTS.
