Front cover step by step, As media

1. First I added my masthead in my theme colour-pink and used the final font that I would be using for my
contents page too. I’ve used an extra image in the background which is simply white but the sides
enhances the white colour.

2. Next I’ve added my main image which I’ve edited separately in another photoshop tab. I have corrected my image and
changed the brightness and sharpness. Then I’ve added my barcode which is a conventional feature in magazines.
Below it I included the website for the publishers and above it I’ve added my own magazine’s website with the price
next to it. I’ve also added my issue number and issue date in the empty little place next to my masthead.

3. I’ve added all four of my sell-lines. The main sell-lines are in black followed by the pink text to explain my sell-
lines. I’ve enhanced some words and numbers by increasing the font size and adding drop shadows and outer
glow.

4. I’ve liked the idea of having the plus sign in other magazines so I decided to add a ‘+’ sign to fill in my empty
space. I’ve also added a badge with a ‘#’ which appeals to young people who use twitter and instagram
hashtags.

5. Lastly I’ve added an extra text that is meant to be a pulled quote of the my model. I’ve curved it slightly to give
it a banner-like look.

6. This was the main front cover before I fixed a few things. The pulled artist quote wasn’t added before. Also the
issue number was changed and replaced. The sell-line related to the model was resized as the font colour was
camouflaging with the models hair. I’ve slightly enlarged the size of my ‘+’ sign.
