Contents Progress Onto Front Cover

This is the process of me applying my features to my front cover.

Step 1-

I added a variety of effects to the letters on my cover stories. To make the letters closer together and the shape the letters, I have changed the characters. I also changed the angles of the letter placement to see if this would be effective, however it wasn't effective.

Step 2-

I changed the placement and size of my main headline to try and find one which would be effective. Also I changed the style of the font but I kept the colour red the same because I felt this fitted in well with my masthead and supporting articles.

 

 

Step 3-

Once I had decided the size, placement and font of my main headline I applied some effects to it. This appeared to be very effective as it made the main headline stand out.

 

Step 4-

To make sure all the features are in line which each other, I used rulers. This was very effective in making the magazine look realistic as everything lined up together.

For the plug I added effects to the Vinyl record and added the word FREE across it. I angled the lettering to give the effect of a stamp across the plug.

The barcode was originally without a blue background however I took inspiration from a Mojo magazine which placed a box around the barcode and I felt it was very effective. I chose the colour blue because this matched my masthead.
