The document describes the steps taken to design a magazine cover in a layout program. First, the document title was added using a text icon and a drop effect was added to create a colored background. An image was dragged onto the cover. Cover lines were then added using the text tool, with some words colored purple to stand out. The main cover line was placed over the model but not covering her face and was colored purple to stand out over her black top. Additional text was added until the cover was filled with lines to look realistic.

1. First I added the
magazine title
using the ‘t’ icon
along the side to
add text. I then
went into the
layer button at
the top and
added a drop
effect the add
the two colours
underneath.

2. After that I added
the image in just be
dropping and
dragging.

3. Then I started
added the cover
lines by using the
text tool again. To
make the text
stand out I made
the first two words
purple by clicking
on the colour box
which is at the top.

4. Then I added the
main cover line
on top of the
model but making
sure it doesn’t
cover her face. I
made this
completely purple
so it would stand
out over the
models black top.

5. I carried on adding the text
in until I had filled the gaps
with cover lines to make
my magazine look more
realistic. I did this with the
text tool.
