The document describes the steps taken to design a magazine cover in Photoshop, including adding layers, inserting images, choosing fonts and colors, adding shapes, positioning elements, and formatting text. The designer experimented with different design elements before finalizing the layout and formatting of the magazine cover.

1. Here is a screenshot of me
searching for an image to make
my main background . To get an
image onto Photoshop I must
select an image from my file then
click open.

2. I wanted a suitable font
for my magazine title but
to do this I had to insert a
new layer which means
that when I want to hide
something that is on my
image I can do so. Adding
a new layer allows me to
move objects around the
page.
Once you add a new
layer you’ll be able to
edit things that you’ve
added onto the main
background.

3. I wanted an interesting colour and font style for my magazine title
, so to
experiment I looked at different styles to see which one would suit
my magazine genre. I chose the colour red because it connotes
danger and blood which conforms to horror magazine genres.

4. I used the font style stencil and the colour red for my masthead because
I thought that it has a big impact towards my film magazine and also the
Colour red allows the audience to be alerted and recognise the masthead name.

5. In order to get the rectangle
background for my background I had
to select the rectangle shape tool
right click it and draw the shape size
that I wanted. After doing this I was
able to customize the rectangle
background shape I made the
rectangle background shape red
because I wanted to the white text to
stand out , the colours red and white
contrast against each other well as
they compliment one another.

6. I included another image onto my magazine front cover , this
image is my sub image to get my sub image on the front page I
had go to file open then look for the image in my file, once I found
my image I selected open and I had to resize and position where I
wanted it to be on my page .

7. once creating my sell lines and headline I wanted to make them stand out to my audience so I underlined them. To
underline your text you must highlight the text then select the A tool which is situated on the right hand side of the
screen near the colour wheel , once you select the A tool you have different template option styles to pick from I
selected the underlined T . However once I completed my magazine front cover I realized that it was not a good
idea to underline my text because it looked un professional and made my front cover look messy so simply undid
the underlining on my text by selecting the Underlined T and selecting the correct tick which is situated above y
image .
