Front Cover Development

• Firstly I created my masthead using the text tool and  coloured the background using the bucket tool.
• I then placed my feature article photograph, cutting it out with the magnetic lasso tool. 
• I then added a puff to make my magazine more appealing.
• Then I started to add in all my plugs down the left hand side of my front cover.
• Then I filled in the right hand side of my front cover with plugs.
• On the right hand side of my front cover I decided to add a plug that was in a circle to add more shape to the page. I did this by using the ellipse tool.
• Then I added a bar-code, website link, price and date to the bottom right hand corner of the page.
• I finished my front cover by adding a cover line which takes up the focus of the front cover. I did this by again using the text tool and using the rectangle tool to put behind it to make it stand out more but I lowered the opacity of the rectangle so that the writing was still clear and that the feature article photograph could still be seen underneath.
