Here underthe textplaymakerthere isaveryfainttextI don’tlike thisbecause
youcan’t not see it.

4. finallyaddedsome more textby
selecting the texttool andthen
rotatingit.
Here is the
overall front
coverof my
magazine.
Strengthof the front coverare:
 Matching the magazinesfrontandtext
 Takingthe photo
 Organizing the magazinestogether
 Addingthe text
My weaknessesof the frontcoverare:
 I couldhave beenmore organizedwhencreatingthe magazine
 I thinkthat the backgrounddoesnotmatch the magazinesfrontcoverand itneed to be
lighter
 The picture of footballercouldbe bigger
Overall Ithinkthatmy magazine re-creationwentverywellbecause Ithoughtthatthe fontand
colourof the textmatch the real magazine frontcover.Alsowhat I likedaboutthisfrontcoverwas
that the circle withthe textinside lookedreally eyecatchingbecause the textmatchedthe yellow
backgroundreallywell alsoitstoodoutandwas one of the firstthingsyousee onthe magazine. The
negative pointsof mymagazine were thatthe backgrounddidnotmatch the original magazine
background.AlsowhatI didnotlike wasthat the picture of footballeronmyre-creationwasnot as

5. bigas the original footballersoitdidnot match the magazine picture. Andalsosome of the textwas
a differentangle thenthe original frontcover.
 Doesit looklike the original cover?
I thinkthat the magazine Imade was the same but ithad a few problemssuchasthe picture of the
footballerbeingtoosmall whenitshouldbe coveringmostof the frontcoverand alsobeingone of
the firstthingsyousee.Anotherpointwasthatthe backgroundwas a slightlydifferent colourthan
original backgroundandthe anglesof the textcouldhave beenbetter.
 What wouldyouchange or do differentlyif youdidthisprojectagain?
One of the mainthingsI wouldchange if Iwas to do thisprojectagainisthat I wouldlike tomake
the footballerbiggerandcover more of the frontcover.AlsowhatI else Iwoulddo differentlyisthat
the backgroundcouldhave beenmore shadow andthat wouldof made the cover standout more.
Overall Ithinkthatthe frontcoverwas goodbut there couldhave beensome improvementtoit.
