2. This is my front cover picture, I enlarged the picture
to make the main person become the biggest focus
point on the front cover. This image is without it
being enhanced using levels and photoshop

3. I used the ‘patch tool’ to cover up a grill that
was in the background which distracted from
the main image.
I enhanced the colour of her hair by using the
‘lasso tool’ and then making the red in her
hair brighter.
I also used ‘levels’ to give the image more
depth and make it look more interesting.

4. I then added my Masthead ‘Note’, I got the
font off a website called 1001 free fonts.
Using this was useful because it meant that I
could choose a more interesting font. I
changed the colour and size of it to create a
constant colour scheme throughout, to do this
I used bevel, emboss, stoke, colour
overlay, gradient overlay and drop shadow on
Photoshop.

5. I then added my main cover line ‘WORLD
EXCLUSIVE WITH ABBIE FIELD’, I changed the
colour of it so that it fitted in with the colour of what I
proposed my masthead to be I used various tools to
make the effect that the writing has these were;
• Stroke – this adds an outline to the words so
that it stands out from the image.
• Inner shadow – this gives the effect that the
words are coming out of the page.
To make the name stand out because she is the main
feature of my magazine I used stroke and inner
shadow.

6. After adding my main cover line I added a sell line,
this is in the middle of the left hand side, its purple
and outlined with black (done using the stroke tool),
which makes it stand out.
The artists listed are the artists that people wanted to
see featured in the magazine from my target
audience.
I have also added a competition to win tickets to see
Ben Howard live, thus drawing the reader into buying
the magazine.

7. To make my magazine look more professional and so
that if it was to be put in shops I have added a bar
code in the bottom right hand corner, the price of the
magazine which is £2 and the date so that customers
can be sure that they are buying the latest issues.
This is the final look of my front cover.
