Construction Samples

These are the several stages i went through to create my final Front Cover for my magazine.

Firstly i chose two photos that i had already edited in an earlier process, these should be the ones i would like to feature as the main photo on the cover and put them on two separate layers and made the top layers more opaque, therefore creating a effect like below.



I then had to come up with a name for my magazine, one that will attract my target market, so i chose
'Eclipse'. I the went on to use Lucida Fax, the stretched it diagonally to create an italic effect. I did this two times so i could go on to overlap the writing.



Then i began to put cover lines on the magazine cover, in the same font as the title. However just a smaller size and in different colours.



I then added a date line, showing the date of publication, issue number and the price of the magazine itself. Also i decided to add a simple black and white barcode at the bottom right hand corner o the page.




To finish off the magazine front cover i edited two photos to place on the bottom left hand corner of the page, with a tag line underneath giving the readers a snippet of what the article will feature that links the photos to the info in the magazine.
