This is my front cover to my media magazine I used adobe Photoshop to edit and progress my front cover. Firstly I designed my title I used Franklin gothic as this stands out and looks bold. I chose size 50 as it is big and so eye-catching. I chose the colour blue for my title as this will be

my colour scheme throughout my magazine.

I then went on by adding effects to my title I used drop shadow inner shadow inner glow Bevel and emboss. All these effects made my title unique and enticing. After I had created my title I then decided to choose my background I did this by using the gradient tool which

gave a very indie kind of look to my magazine. It also contrasted with my title so it stood out more.

 

In the next lesson I went on to uploading my final image. I chose a close friend to model for my magazine. I put Alex (the model) in a plain indie top making her look cool holding a guitar using direct address. The guitar really gives a cool edgy look to my magazine. I also painted her nails

blue so it follows my colour scheme.

I then went on to add my positioning statement “turn it up” I used Trajan pro which was size 14 I made it bold with a crisp effect making it look cool and collective. I then went on to add the bar at the bottom of the magazine showing the latest bands that are in the magazine. I added the effects

on “plus” which included inner shadow, inner glow, bevel and Emboss, Stoke. I used the effects as it drawn the reader to see what else would be featuring in my magazine. I also made it blue following

the colour scheme. I then added the list of bands I made the font italic to make it look more creative.

• I then went on to adding the barcode, price and date I followed the codes and conventions throughout the magazine for example making the font for the price and date 11. I also added “EXCLUSIVE” I did this by making it the text blue and putting it on a black background so it looks effective and stands out drawing the readers in.

• In the next lesson I added the headline “Alexandra” and the subhead line “rising to the top” I made the font Franklin gothic demi as it gives the magazine a classy look. I also made it follow my chose colour scheme of black, white, blue and light blue. By choosing white text on a black background this makes the headline and sub headline stand out.

In the next lesson I went on to adding the cover lines. I used cap lock on all of the cover lines making them look bold and clear. I used black and blue throughout them all. Changing some words from “italic” to “bold”

creating a versatile look to my magazine.

Lastly I underlined cretin cover lines to make them look more diverse and unique.
