Production of my music magazine front cover.

Here I have added the photo which will act as a background on my music magazine. It will also be the main image on my music magazine. I added this by “importing media.”

At this stage, I had added my masthead “Indie-vidual” and the website on the right underneath and on the left side underneath is my positioning statement “The only way is Indie.”

This bit I found challenging. I had the cut off the top section of Hayleigh’s head and the copy and paste it so that it would go in front of the title. I cut the head by using the polygon lasso tool. Then I blended it into the background by using the spot brush healing tool.

In the screen grab, I had added my cover lines and main cover line by using a simple text box. Then, I added outer glows to the text to make it stand out more.

This is the final design of my music magazine. By this point I had added the issue number and date in the bottom right, just above the barcode. I inserted the barcode my “importing media.” The strip on the bottom is added by using the shape tool and the writing over it is added my using a simple text box.
