This is my front cover. In the process of making this cover I have cropped out the previous back ground to get a plain white background. I had used the quick selection tool and the magic wand tool. I have also turned up the brightness of my front cover so that the main image stands out against the background.

I have chosen to go with the initial plan having a red and black house style and I like the fact that my masthead is bright and stands out. I have also used the clone stamp tool to get rid of some facial scars on my model. The progress that I have made so far shows that I have used my research and applied it to my magazine, such as I have taken out quotes from the inside of my magazine and put them on my cover lines to attract my target audience. I have also used bright fonts for both cover lines and my masthead to make them eye catching.

On my front cover I had made a new layer of my models head because the mast head was covering his head. By copying his head and creating another layer, his head covered the layer of the mast head.

I have made more progress as I have added more cover lines and have made some changes with them. I decided to put my models name at the bottom of the magazine rather than the top. I made this change because I thought that the name should be larger which would have made it more eye catching. I have also added an IPHONE scanner which makes my magazine look more professional in a way that I have thought about the consumer’s needs.

I decided to put the models name back in the original place, because I thought that it would be more eye catching and easier to read. I have also changes the style of the text by taking away the red outer layer stroke and adding a black stoke as before it was blurry and did not go with the house style of my magazine. I have also compressed the cover lines to make it look more neat and professional.I haver also put the logo on my front cover so that people can recognize it and now my magazine has a brand.
