Using the shape tool I created a

rectangular box to be my skyline. I

positioned it along the top of my page. On top of that layer I used the text tool

to write on my skyline.

Using a font t from the internet, I saved my text

as an image and then opened it in Photoshop.The word ‘BASE’ I left horizontal however the

word ‘THE’ i rotated counter clockwise.

Taking my picture (bottom-left) I opened it in Photoshop and changed it from RGB colour to grey scale.

Using the magic wand and rubber tools

when necessary I cut around the picture to get my desired look. I also added in a bar code in the bottom

right corner to make my magazine more

realistic.

I used the text tool to make my main

cover line. Using the settings I changed the font, size and

colour. I used red as I knew it would

stand out against the grey, white and black background. I used a clear font as

I want my main cover line to stand

out.

I took another picture and added it to my front cover. I used the crop tool to crop it

and used a shape tool to give it a background. Using the text tool I gave it the cover line ‘A video who?’ I chose the colour

red to keep the with colour scheme.

Using the text tool I added the rest of my Coverlines and wrote competitions. Using

the settings I selected various colours, fonts

and sizes.

This is my end product for my front cover. I think it

resembles a real magazine and depicts the genre of hip-

hop clearly.

To make my magazine more

realistic I decided to add a scan bar code. I opened the picture in Photoshop and changed it from a background into a

layer. I dragged it on to my magazine and put it in place using

the arrow tool.

So the competition could stand out more I added a shape around it, by using the shape tool and selecting the eclipse shape. I went

into edit and set it to go behind the text.
