3. Cover lines :
The cover lines are made in a series of fonts, for example, using the ‘T’
tool to type in ‘Youth Choir’ then I did the same for writing the rest of
the text for that one cover line. Then by highlighting the text and
changing the font size, finally grouped the text to make them into one
whole cover line which I aligned to the left. Except for the main cover
line which I made it larger with the selection and aligned of the text to
make attract the audience.
In the making of the cover lines, the difficulty was constructing
how the cover lines will be illustrated in used of size and font
whilst attracting the audience through the cover lines.

Firstly the change of colour to all white, to make the
magazine simplistic. Also because to has to blend in with
the main image whilst balancing the colour scheme of
purple and white.
Secondly In the illustration of the cover lines, they were too
long so I shorted them down to leave some mystery and
thought into the reader by displaying the cover lines in short
and sharp terms.
Then the size and font of the text had to be changed. To create
interest and impact towards the magazine the main topic had to be
highlighted with a large font, and a little teaser about the topic was
addressed in smaller font as shown which aligned to the right.
Finally the main cover line bust be presented to
stand out and appeal to the audience. And the initial
Idea was to make it bigger and bolder to the
audience.
