Front Cover Development

Below are going to be a selection of screen shots showing how i created my front cover for my magazine.

When creating my front cover first i edited a picture that was going on the cover, i changed the brightness and contrast to make the picture brighter and add some depth to the image. This is to help make it stand out to people. I edited this in Photoshop

    Once i had finished editing the image i added it into InDesign where i had already made my Masthead and my barcode. For my masthead the font that i used was rockie and grungy this is to help it stand out so that people recognize it for the title.

Next i added my central image, i took this photo of my friend playing his base guitar, i felt this linked to my magazine as the genre of my magazine is rock.

After i added my central image i then started to add my cover lines to make my magazine a little more attractive. So that it will catch the audience's eye.

To finish off my magazine i added some final cover lines and a puff with a competition this was to make it more attractive to the audience so that they will be more interested in buying it.
