Front Cover Process 11

In this stage of my front cover I decided to add a quote from the interview with the artist, to do this I created a text box, one for "I feel like" the next for "this is" and used the font "my boyfriends handwriting" at size 29pt and then created another text box with "my time" and used the font "arial" and had it at size 39.

In this process I decided to add my models name, to do this I had to go on to 'Dafont.com' to find the font I wanted and after downloading my desired font I went back on to Photoshop and selected the text box tool and then made a text box with the writing 'Darnell' in and then selected the font 'My Boyfriends Handwriting' and then made the font size 48pt. I also selected the writing and went to the colour box and changed the colour to white. I added effects such as bevel and emboss, stroke and drop shadow.

In this process of my magazine I chose to add the issue number, price and date. To do this I added a text box and wrote the desired text inside then made them smaller and moved them to where I needed them to be. The font for all of these were 'Ariel Black' and the size for the date was 8pt, the issue number was 9pt and the price was 6pt.

This process was adding the slogan and bar code, to add the slogan I went to the text tool and typed in "One in a million"then went through different fonts and settled for "Lucida Handwriting" and made the size 19pt. For the barcode I got one offline, opened it then dragged it to the front cover page made it smaller and turned it round.

In this process I changed the colour of the masthead, to do this I selected the text and went to the colour pallet on the right tool bar I then double clicked the text on the layer bar and it came up with the layer style box, I then wet through each style selecting and playing around with which ones I want. I used Bevel and Emboss, Contour, Stroke, Inner Shadow and Glow and then Outer Glow.

In this stage I started on my masthead to do this I went to the left side bar and selected the text tool, the font I wanted to used was not available on Photoshop so I had to go onto Dafont.com and find the font CF National Stitches and downloaded it so I could use it, I set the size to 160 pt, I did have an original desired font to use for my masthead but after adding the colour and the original font I didn't think it went with my magazine so I changed it.

This stage is very similar to the previous stage but instead of me changing the background curves I changed the curves for the models layer, again, I went on to image, adjustments and curves and played around till I found what I liked.
