The document summarizes the steps taken to create a magazine advertisement poster using Sumo Paint and Photoshop. Key steps included: 1. Creating a colorful spiral gradient background in Sumo Paint using pastel purple and blue shades. 2. Importing photos and screenshots into PowerPoint and applying bevel effects to make them stand out on the background. 3. Choosing the "Alba Super" font for headings and phrases to match 80s album cover aesthetics and adding white lettering with an orange glow.

1. To start off with I first created a colorful background for the poster. I did this using the program ‘Sumo Paint’2. I selected the size the background was going to be, which in this case as it would be a magazine advert would be A4.

8. I made the letting white and added an orange glow so that it would stand out against the pastel colours of the posters background:
