1st Stage
This is the first stage of my front cover. I created this using the gradient tool. The two colours I used for the gradient was blue and white.
This is the gradient tool I sued to create my background image.

2nd Stage This is the second stage of my magazine cover. I open the image from my documents and inserted it onto the background. This is not the original image that I took as this has been manipulated. I used the transform controls to enlarge it to the size I wanted.

3rd Stage
This is the third stage of my production. I inserted my masthead that I had created using adobe illustrator cs4. I edited the masthead using Photoshop for the diamond/bling effect.

4th Stage
This is the forth stage. This stage included the name of the artist and the barcode at the bottom. I used the text tool to create the text. After typing out the text I used a drop style and bevel emboss to make it look a lot more appealing.
This is the text tool This is the text tool

5th StageThis is the fifth stage of my front cover production. In this stage I added sell lines, the website and the chain. All of these contributed to make the magazine look professional.

6th Stage
This is the sixth stage. In this stage I added an image that I took in to the background. The image is a graffiti image on a wall that is placed in the left side of the magazine.

7th Stage
This is the final stage of my magazine cover. I replaced the white on the right with grey to match my colour scheme.

Drop shadow
This is how I used drop shadow to make my text have a shadow. I made the distance 5, spread 0, and size 27 so that it could work with the colour scheme.

Bevel and EmbossThis is how I applied bevel and emboss on to my text to make it look 3d. I adjusted the settings to suit my preferences.

Motion blur
This how I used the effect behind the website name and the top half text of my magazine.
