The creation of the school magazine front cover

I started my front cover of my school magazine by cutting out the image I wanted to use for the front cover and making any changes to the saturation and brightness to make my image appear more suitable for a front cover of the school magazine.

When the image of my choice was edited to what I thought was appropriate, I was able to make a background for my magazine front cover. I chose a pale orange background and I then started to make patches of white where my coverlines and sublines would be located on the front cover, I made sure this was not covering my image.

When I had planned for my coverlines and sublines I was then able to create my masthead which I knew had to stand out and be the biggest piece of text and definitely stand out. I made the text white and the background behind it purple.

Once the masthead was completed I focused on the main coverline for the front cover. I wanted to include alliteration for my main coverline and use a drop capital. My colour scheme was purple, orange and yellow so the coverline was orange

Once the main coverline was on the front cover I decided to add the other coverlines around the edges of my image, which included the feature articles of my magazine.

To add the last detail to my front cover I added a barcode to the right hand corner
