front cover construction

Process

Front Cover

• I cut out the person in my picture using the magnetic lasso tool
• I then changed the brightness and contrast
• Then I used and spot healing brush to get rid of any blemishes
• After the picture I found the font I wanted for the name on "dafont"
• However it was all in black and I thought it would look good if some of it was red so I used the paint brush on a new layer to cover parts and make it red.
• When the name was in place I found a Bar code on Google and placed it on the cover and then added the name and price
• I then found a suitable strapline and font to use and placed it on with a quotation.
• I then went back to google and found a picture of a lable and put that on my cover
• I then used the eraser to get rid of its background and then typed in the writing but I had to use the paint brush to add the half hidden 'E'
• After this I added all the subtitles showing the content inside the magazine.
