Firstly to start the production of my front cover I took pictures of a fellow school friend posing in front of a

plain wall however the wall what not be able

to be used in my magazine I then had to

cut her out of the background creating a single image to then

place onto a background I would

later add to the production.

When I had finished cutting her out I chose 2

colours and used a gradient tool to create

the effect of the background, I used two colours that would work

with the rest of the colours chosen to and

also they were 2 colours that were popular from

the results of my questionnaire.

I then added the title of my

magazine and also added effects

such as Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow and

Bevel and Emboss this made the title unique following

the codes and conventions of how to produce the magazine.

I then used the same idea with the sub line

but only using the effects of Drop

Shadow and Bevel and Emboss, I didn't

use all the same effects as the title as

the title of any magazine has to be

separate meaning that no other text on the

page can be used that it used for the title therefore meaning

neither can the same effects as it would be the exact same just a

different font.

I then added the name of the ‘new upcoming artist’

to link the picture to my cover i

used a different font again and also used the

same effects on the piece of text as i used on the sub line and also used the same

font and effects .

I then added all the headlines, I used a different colour between the headlines, I

also used a different font and

didn't add any effects onto the

text making them bold and stand

out also to break up the text as all the other text has

effects.

Above the ‘Take That’ headline I added a box and

added ‘Exclusive’ into it to show the audience that

the two headlines under

it where the important

story's of the magazine.

I then added the barcode to the bottom of the pager making sure it was the right size I then also added the issue date and

the price on top of the barcode

making sure the text wasn't too

big and then the magazine is

finished.
