Making my front cover screen shots

This is the start of me making my front cover. Recently I have made my mast head "STUDENT" using the font "Goudy stout" size 250pt and also my skyline "SEPTEMBER EDITION 2014" is also "Goudy stout" but the size is 40pt  and my footer "WYKE SIXTH FORM COLLEGE" and that is also "Goudy stout" and the size is 48pt. I have also put my barcode on as well which is saved from Google.

This is me using the lasso tool to take away the background of the shadow because it had a white background around so i had to go around the shadow with my lasso tool and eraser to take the excess background off. The shadow is used to show where about the image will go on my front cover because I have not got a picture yet.

This is me creating my first feature story onto my front cover. I have used a green colour for the text saying "GIRLS GUIDANCE need help?" this is to make the story stand out with the bold colours and different types of writing such as the "GIRLS GUIDANCE" is the font of "Goudy stout" and the "need help?" is the font "segeo print".

This is me creating the plug for my front cover. I have used an oval shape to make it noticeable so that the audience will be distracted by the free ipad. I have also used the font "Goudy stoud" to make it bold and the white writing on top of the green background of the oval. Then i linked the two layers together so I could move them about at the same time so I couldn't lose the rotation of the text and the oval.

On my front cover, I have changed the place of the picture to make the magazine much more better and organised to read. Also, I have put the main feature story in the middle with a rectangular box around it with the opacity of 30% to make sure it just shimmers over the main feature story to show it is the most important one. I have also created two more new layers for the teeth and lips to make her lips stand out by making them more pink and also make the teeth more white to make her face much more brighter.

I have now also created more cover stories to make the front cover stand out more and not just a plain pink background. The green text stands out on a pink background because it is a dark colour and also bold.

In this print screen, I have changed the font of "Leah Hewitson" which therefore makes it stand out a lot better because it helps the reader see the most important story and also makes the feature story different from the others as it has a different font and not the same colour and same look as the rest of the magazine looks like.

This is my end result for my front cover. Recently,I have added the "issue 1" and also the "100% free" as well as using the ellipse tool and also the rounded rectangular tool which I then made both of them shapes have a low opacity so then it can bring out the writing and it will be much better for people to read as well.
