The document summarizes the steps taken to design a magazine cover in Photoshop. The designer imported an image, enlarged it to fit the page, and created a red embossed title to stand out. They then added the main cover line in red to match the title. Additional cover lines were placed around the image to frame it, with one line using a larger font that partially covered the image but not the face. All cover lines were made white to stand out against the brick wall background.

2. Secondly I created the title for my magazine. I decided to make the title red because it would stand out and attract the reader, but I also added effects to it to make it look ‘embossed’ and a different font to the cover lines so it would again, attract the reader.

3. After creating my masthead, I added my main cover line to the front cover. I made the colour red so it would anchor with the masthead.Ialso used an

4. After completing my main cover line I moved on to creating my other cover lines. I placed them around the main image to frame it along with the masthead and main cover line.

5. I repeated placing my cover lines around the main image so that it was still visible and not covered.

6. For this cover line, the font was bigger than the other cover lines so it covered some of the main image. This is ok because it does not cover the face.

7. Finally I added my last cover line on my front cover. I decided to do all my cover lines white to make them stand out against the brick wall background and to create a colour scheme that was simple but attractive to the eye.
