The document summarizes the steps taken to design the front cover of a magazine. It describes starting with a black background and adding a title in a font similar to Kerrang magazine with gray stripes for a rock/metal look. Images and text were then added, with the text separated by lines and in varying sizes and colors. A barcode was added last to complete the magazine cover design.

Front cover

2. Firstly I started off with a black
background so I could build up
different colours onto the plain
background.
Also I started off with a black
background because I want my
colour scheme to be bold plain
colours.

3. I then created a title, I tried to make
it similar to the Kerrang magazine
title.
I did this by finding a font that is
similar to Kerrang Magazine, and I
then added grey stripes that made a
crack like effect to give it a
rock/metal look.

4. In this screen shot you can see
that I have added something to
the mast head. I have added two
blew lines by using the text tool
and the symbol – over and over
again.

5. To the top of the title I have
added a advertisement which
advertises that there are 10
free posters inside. This is in
the same font as the title in the
colour white.

6. In this screen shot you can see
that I have added a image that I
cut out using the cut out tool and
blurred the uneven edges. I also
changed the effect of the image
to a more blue tone and I also
controlled the brightness of the
image.

7. In this screen shot you can see that I
have added text to my front cover.
The text I have added is separated by
white lines. The text also three
different colours, starting with white,
then working its way down to blue
and then finally down to yellow. The
text also varies in size from small to
larger.

8. This is my final product and I have
added a barcode to complete the
front cover
