Creating my magazine front cover

In this post I will detail the process of creating my front cover and the various drafts

The first thing I did was create a new Photoshop document of A4. I added a block where the masthead would go and the colour of my choice and using a font from an external website put in the masthead for my magazine, along with with the full title below it. This is similar to NME having the full 'New Musical Express' next to the logo on some covers.

I added in the photograph I took and fitted it to the magazine.


To make the cover look better I took a seperate image of the actor and placed it over while putting an effect of the image below. I started deleting parts of the wall around him so the background has a different effect but the actor in the centre of the image looks the same.


I then added most of the text on to the cover, keeping the same font for them all.


Then I decided to change the masthead of the magazine as well as putting a pug in the top-right corner of the magazine finalising it.
