Construction of Front cover

The first thing I done when constructing my front cover was, change the hue of the image, by clicking on ‘fx’, which then gave me the option to change the hue to black and white. I then went on the eraser tool, and used in on the guitar to bring its colour back.I used this video to help me do this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX1LLcB0tO0

Editing

I also, created my masthead, by selected a font, and then adding effects on it. I choose the outer glow effect as it makes the masthead look more bold and stand out.

I used different texts for the texts above, to make my magazine look more bold and eye catchy.To make my magazine look realistic, I had to make a barcode. I done this by going on www.barcodegenerator.com, which allowed me to make my barcode

Text & Barcode

I creating my banner and cover line, I had to select the shape icon, and use it for the background of the text. The make the text stand out more, and look professional as they use them in actual magazines. For the cover line, I edited it further by selecting the ‘fx’ icon, and changing the pattern of the shape, and making it what colour I wanted to, which was a greyish colour. After, I had to go on ‘fx’ again but had to select ‘stroke’ which allowed me to give the circle an outline.

Banner and Cover line

I created another cover line promoting a competition within the magazine. Like the other cover line, I created a shape as a background for the text, then changed the gradient overlay. I made it blue, so by changing the gradient overlay It made the clue fuzzy and turnout in different shades
