2. Changing the background
• I changed my background preset to grey because I felt it
would make my main image
and text stand out more than
white would.
• I used this tool to create a
shape around the A4 sheet and
then filled that shape in grey.
3. Manipulating images
I used an unedited image
that I had originally taken
for my preliminary task and
opened it on to my A4
cover.
I then used the background
eraser tool and the pen
tool to remove the
unnecessary background
from the image

5. Adding magazine information
I stuck to two main fonts throughout
my magazine; one of them was Goudy
Stout. I used Goudy Stout for the first
word in my masthead and continued to
use it as the title for my coverlines.
6. Adding a barcode
I saved an image of a
barcode into my documents
then opened it up on to this
document as a new layer.
8. Adding a puff
•
I then added text to my
puff. I continued to use
the Goudy Stout text for
the 25% OFF section and
then continued to use
the Kalinga font for the
rest of the puff
information.
10. Adding cover lines
•
I’ve added three cover lines to my
front cover. I’ve tried to keep them an
appropriate size to keep it off the
image. I’ve used a size 20 font for the
titles of the masthead and then a size
18 for the extra information
underneath the masthead.
