2. I used Adobe Photoshop to create my front
cover and the image was the main feature of
the page.
3. I first put my image on the page as the background. I then manipulated the
image by using a Smart Filter and putting Shadows on 10% and Highlights on
0%.
4. I then placed a Masthead with the font Nova Solid which I got from
dafont.com. I then also added a strapline that originally was meant to be
below the masthead but I decided to place it above. I then changed the
colours so it matched my colour scheme.
5. Next, I placed my footer on the bottom of the page. I did this by first
creating a large red rectangle shape that matched the colour of the
masthead. I then added the text in a contrasting white font.
6. After that, I added in all the coverlines using a variety of fonts (either from
dafont.com or the ones already on the computer. I also used a variety of colours
from the colour scheme.
7. Next, I added in another picture of two artists. I first put a white rectangle shape
to create the outline. Then, I added the actual image on top of the rectangle.
8. Finally, I added in the final details that are featured on all magazine covers. I
placed the barcode, website address, price and date/issue on the magazine. These
are essential features to be put on all magazines.
