Step by step guide in the making of my cover page

1. Step by step guide on how I made my
magazine front cover

2. First of all I started off with my main
picture and the background. In this
photo I have edited my model and I
cant get the original photo anymore.

3. Secondly I added the colour to
the Jack Daniels bottle to make it
look like their was whisky in the
bottle.

4. I now added the strap and
the text to go over the top. I
played around with colours
at first until I found these
ones and was happy with it.

5. I put the two photos onto
another Photoshop document
and I added a plain white
boarder so it stuck out more. I
then added them to the strap at
a tilted angle.

6. I went to work on the
masthead and after a lot of
different designs, colours and
sizes, I finally came up with
this but I thought it needed
something else to go with it to
make it stand out more. I also
still liked the idea of an arrow
on it somewhere.

7. I played around with a few ideas
on Photoshop and I came up
with this one and I think it went
well with the look of my
masthead and the theme of my
magazine.

8. I used an online barcode generator
to make my barcode and I wrote
the date and the rewind magazine
website underneath.

9. I then added in some of my cover
lines and I used alternating colours
that I used for my masthead and
strap to draw attention to it.

10. I then added in my main cover line
to show what the magazine feature
was about. I wrote it in white so I
could put a dark background
behind it so it stood out more.

11. I added the background and made it
the same colour as the strap
background.

12. I added in my final cover lines
using the same colour as the
background of my main cover
lines and the strap to make sure
I had a nice house style. I also
used the same colour as the
masthead for the ‘&’ sign to
keep the house style up.
