1. Firstly I started with the template I created
and added some more text by using the text
tool

2. I added some key features for a
magazine cover like the price and
masthead.

3. And also the time of year this specific
magazine will be released.

4. I created a rectangle box and placed the
barcode in and re sized it for the fit I
wanted

5. I was constantly moving things around on the front
cover to see where things looked best.

6. I moved my images into Photoshop to
remove the backgrounds.

7. I used the object selection tool and the
quick select tool to draw around the
model.

8. Once I selected what I wanted I right clicked
and pressed select inverse this the will
remove the background instead of the
model.

9. Then once I pressed enter this is what it looks
like and I needed to save this image as a PNG
and Photoshop file so I could place it into in
design.

10. Then I added this to my front cover on InDesign
and resized it to fit how I vision.

11. I then started to add cover lines around the
image

12. I then added some more cover lines that included
information that linked to the double page spread.

13. I continued to play around with colours and spacing of the text and
images. I also decided to add a colour this was just a light grey to fill the
space instead of it looking so empty.

14. I included cover lines about other artists to
engage the audience.

15. I then added another image to create a puff.

16. I chose orange to fit my original choice of
colour theme

17. The puff was to engage the audience into
entering the competition.

18. I played around with the cover line and
made sure it was the key focus.

19. I decided to change what the puff said to make it
stand out more and more simply just made it one
bold word

20. I also added a shadow to the puff to make it look
realistic by adding a black circle behind the original
and turned the opacity down.
