The stages I made my magazine front cover in

Stage 1: I opened Photoshop and started of with a blank file

Stage 2: I inserted a white rectangle, this is because I want the background behind the mast head to be white, a white background makes the mast head stand out more

Stage 3: I inserted my edited picture, this is a two shot medium close up and is my main image for the magazine

Stage 4: I put in the main title of the magazine, this is the name of the magazine

Stage 5: I inserted the date of the magazine

Stage 6: I wrote ‘Chichester Sixth Form’ to show what college/sixth form this magazine is for

Stage 7: I added in the issue number

Stage 8: I put in the title ‘Welcome New Students’ , this shows that the magazine is for the beginning of the new school year and is to give information to the new students

Stage 9: I put in the article headers/article headlines

Stage 10: I added in pictures for the article headlines
