2. I opened up Photoshop to
create my front cover as it
is essential to use when
editing my photos of my
model.
I used the paint bucket
tool to change the colour
of the background to
become a shade of green
which is more of a mint
colour. It is not a bright
green but it is eye-
catching.

3. Next, I added my
masthead. I used the text
tool and changed the font
size to 150 and the style
to forte. But then I decided
to change the font style
so that it is similar to the
billboard masthead. I
altered the font to make it
become Arial. I dragged
both sides of the text to
make the masthead wide
as possible to fit across
the page.

After that, I added the text
that will be on my front
cover. The colours of the
text go really well with the
mint, it is white and a
mauve / light pink colour.
The font size is 25 and the
style is the same as the
masthead.
5. Then, I added the text
above the masthead
with the font of 18.
After that, I typed the
website of my
magazine and ‘music
life style’. I also placed
a barcode below with
the price tag above the
barcode of the
magazine.

The photo of my friend Olivia is going to be used on
my front cover. I made her do a certain pose as it
makes her looks as though she is a professional
model on my front cover as it is all about a new pop
star named ‘Olivia Davis’.
In the screenshot on the right, I have used the tool
rubber to erase the background as you can see from
the photo on the left. There is quite a lot going on so
I decided to get rid of it.

I dragged the edited photo of Olivia onto the cover.
After that, I enlarged the image by going to edit,
then transform and clicked on scale which helped
me to make the photo bigger. Finally, I moved the
layer of the image to make it come in front of the
masthead because that makes my magazine look
more professional.

I moved the barcode to the bottom right of the page as I thought it looked
more suitable there. I added text saying ‘OLIVIA DAVIS’ in the font Gills
Sans MT Ext Condensed Bold and the font size is 85. ‘The making of a 21st
century popstar’ is the same font as the text above it but the font size is
