Magazine-Front Cover

In today's media studies lesson, I finished creating the front cover of my magazine. To create the front cover of my magazine, I used Photoshop.

 

I had to follow my first draft of the magazine to ensure that I included all of the different magazine features. This meant that I had to include:

 

-Masthead

-Headline

-Splash

-Main Cover lines

-Date line

-Main image was in the centre of the page

-Lure

-Main Cover lines

-Kicker & Explanatory Text

-Barcode

 

This first draft helped me when creating my magazine cover, because I was aware of where everything needed to be placed. I used many different on Photoshop techniques, For example, I used the quick selection tool, I used this to crop around my photos and get rid of anything I didn't want to include.

 

I had to ensure that all of the colours I used stood out from the background and that they were clear and easy to read.
