For the first step of my magazine

front cover I inserted a picture. To

do this I went on file, open

selected the picture I wanted and

then dragged it into my (

international a4 size file

document on photoshop)

To insert the red box I drawn a

rectangle, made it to the size I

wanted it to be and then filled it in

with the colour red using the paint

bucket tool.

Step three I added the black italic

writing. To do this I added a text box

and wrote what I wanted to write.

For my masthead I had to put it on three different layers as I

wanted to make the ‘N’ flip to make it stand out and look

unique. I used the text tool and then used the shift button

and the ‘T’ button to resize them to make them all the same

size. Then I has to link them all together so whenever I

decided I wanted to move it, they would all move together.

To add the ‘Katy’ and the ‘ Trip To Success’ I also had to

do them on separate text boxes as I wanted the ‘Katy’

stand out because she is the main image on my magazine

front cover.

To add the ‘Exclusive’ I also had to do this on

another layer as it is smaller and it is italic. This

makes it sounds out more so the audience would be

drawn in.

To add the black like I went on the shapes

and just drawn a line. I made it black

therefore it would stand out against the red

writing and green coat.

‘Q&A’ and ‘WHAT DO YOU KNOW’ are also on different

layers as I wanted them both different sizes to make it

stand out better. I linked them together when I finished so

if I moved it or resized it, it would be the same.

I added the shape by using the shape tool, and then I put it under

the writing. I made it red as my colour scheme is red and black. I

also added it so it would make the magazine be different and have a

quirky side to it.

‘Ultimate Gig guide’ is on separate layers as i

wanted them a different size. The ‘Ultimate’ is

in red and it is a buzzword and buzzwords are

codes and conventions of a magazine. Therefore

these are what draws the readers in.

Florence Revealed is on separate layers as I wanted to make

them different sizes to make them stand out and look

different.

‘WHAT HAPPENS AT V DOESN’T STAY AT V’ is on

separate layers as they are spaced out more and

this makes them stand out. It also adds comedy

into the magazine as the saying ‘what happens

at.... Stays at...’ however this doesn’t stay.

To add the barcode I had to get it off google images and

then open it on another page on photoshop, then drag it

onto this page. To resize it I pressed ‘Shift and T’ together.

To add the date and the issue number of the magazine i

just added the text box and wrote. I made the writing

small as this is not the main focus of the magazine.
