The document describes the process of designing a magazine cover. The designer experimented with different colors and effects in the background before creating two circles with the paint tool. They then added the magazine name in red and white text based on survey results. Additional elements like a black and red strip and headline text with outer glow effects were tested before finalizing the cover design.

2. For my front cover of my
magazine I began editing the
colours, playing with effects and
just trying to find out something
that would look in the
background. I began by trying
blue colours and seeing how the
effects changed it to make it look
more professional, but in this
colour didn’t work so I had to
change it.

3. This screen grab is the image I am
using in the background of my front
cover. This was created by using the
paint tool and making two big circles,
one on top and one below. Once I had
done this I tried different effects to see
what different ways I could make a
professional looking background and
this screen grab is the outcome.

4. After creating the background I
went on to add in my magazine
name in the top left. I used the
colours red and white because in
my questionnaire these are the
results that were most popular. I
used a unique text for the name of
my magazine (IMM). I added in a
black and red strip in the top right
so the top right of the front cover
wasn’t just plain.
When adding in my main image I
to slowly and carefully cut around
him so I could use my plain
background.

I then began adding different texts in
changing the effects on them to see
which would look best. I used the
outer glow effect on the text as you
can see in fig 2. I think this is the
most professional looking text that
would suit being on my magazine
front cover.

6. After changing the effects
and finding out which text I
would use I added in the rest
of my cover lines and this is
my final design of my front
cover for my magazine
