This stage I added a lot more, I added a curved rectangle to add a background for my writing, I made it the same grey as the previous grey box. I also made the "Contents" thicker, to do this I just made the stroke bigger around 4. My next bit was adding the page number, I used the same colour as the pink box and then added a text box inside using the font "Forever Young" at size 20pt and then I added the text "Cover Story" and rotated it using the corners of the text, this font was the font "New Garden" at size 25 the same with "this week". For the smaller writing which is the information for each section, the writing is "Forever Young" at size 14pt. I also created two smaller boxes by using the rectangle tool and made them the same pink and white used in the other boxes and then made a text box over it and typed 22 at size 20.

This step was more about focusing on the detail around the top area, I added a drop shadow to the text "Contents" by double clicking the layer and then selecting drop shadow. I wanted to add something to make it more colourful, so I went onto the rectangle tool on the left side bar and created a rectangle the length of the page and made it grey, I then made another one a lot smaller making it pink and a final one making it white. I then made a text box over the white box and used the font "Young Forever" at size 38pt, which I also got from "Dafont.com".

In this step I was just focusing,on the masthead, I opened up a new file using "U.S. Paper" then I went onto "Dafont.com" and chose the font "New Garden" I downloaded this font and then after making a text box for the C as I wanted it bigger I made it 194pt and the "ontents" was size 89 pt, I then moved them to the desired place.

In my final stage I focused on adding finishing touches, such as adding stokes to my writing and changing the colours of the "unseen..." and adding "50 must have songs" both with the colour red and stokes, I also added a "PLUS" and an "AND", sizes of these were 15pt and the sizes of the "unseen.." and "50.." was size 21.

During this stage I chose to add a give away and a text that was about an unseen photoshoot. To do the give away circle, I went to the left hand tool bar and selected the shape tool and changed it to eclipse and then made my circle, I changed the inside to white and the outside to yellow. I then added a text box on the inside which was Arial size 21pt.

During this stage I did a few things such as the date, the price, the issue number and the featured artists. I created different text boxes for each one, the font for them all is Arial. The featured artists font has a stroke on so it would stand out more and you wouldn't lose it while looking at the front cover.

In this stage I chose to change my masthead, to do this was pretty simple. I deleted the previous masthead and created a new text box and had "stargazer" written inside, I chose the font "Cooper  Black" size 82pt. The colour didn't need to changing so I tried something new, I went to the warp text tool which was at the top where you change the colour and font ect. I selected "Arc Lower" and made it to how I liked it. I then double clicked the font layer and added styles such as Bevel and Emboss and the ones shown in the picture above.
