THIS IS MAGAZINE WAS A GUIDE LINE AND AN INSPIRATION TO MY MAGAZINE AS IT CIRCULATES AROUND THE SAME GENRE AS MINE

THIS IS MY FIRST IMAGE OF MY FRONT COVER FOR MY MAGAZINE WITHOUT A PHOTO

I ADDED AN IMAGE TO MY FRONT COVER MAGAZINE THE FONT "THE UNEXPECTED" WAS FROM A WEBSITE www.dafont.com

I DECIDED TO CHANGED MY FRONT COVER MAGAZINE TO THIS ONE BELOW, BECAUSE MY PREVIOUS PHOTO WAS QUITE PIXELATED

I DECIDED TO EDIT THE PHOTOGRAPH BY EDITING THE LIGHTING AND CONTRAST. ANOTHER THING A DID TO PREVENT SPREADING THE IMAGE ACROSS THE MAGAZINE. STEP 1. ON PHOTO SHOP I, SELECTED AN AREA OF THE BLUE BACKGROUND

2. WENT TRANSFORM -> SCALE. I ENLARGED THE SELECTED AREA

3. I THEN CLICKED ON LAYER-> MERGED DOWN. IN DOING THIS IT PLACED THE SEPARATE IMAGES TOGETHER.

4.THEN SELECT POLYGONAL, SELECT AND JOIN AROUND THE AREA YOU NEED TO EDIT.

5. GO ON SELECT AND MODIFY->FEATHER-> PLACE A NUMBER YOU WANT EAMPLE. 25.

6. GO ON FILTER-> BLUR-> GAUSSIAN BLUR

I DEVELOPED THE HEADLINE, BY GIVING A 3D EFFECT, WHICH INCLUDES SHADOW AND HIGHLIGHTS. THE IDEA OF THEM HOLDING HANDS, CONNTONES THE RELATIONSHIP AND FRIENDSHIP US THE TEENAGERS SEEM TO LACK. I FEEL MUSIC IS A KEY WAY TO BRING EVERYONE TOGETHER AS SOME MAY SHARE THE SAME INTEREST AS OTHERS.

I TRIED COPYING THE LAYOUT OF MY VIBE MAGAZINE BY DOING THE SILVER BAR BUT IT DIDN'T FIT IT TO THE COLOUR SCHEME OF MY MAGAZINE SO I DECIDED TO CHANGE THE COLOUR BY DOING THE OPPOSITE COLOUR COLOUR WHICH IS GOLD ALSO IT GOES WITH THE GIRLS JUMPER

THE HEAD LINES NEEDED TO BE SEPARATED TO GIVE AN EFFECT OF A REAL MUSIC MAGAZINE, AS I LACKED ABIT OF HEADLINES. I ENLARGED THE MAST HEAD AND MOVED IT TO THE RIGHT HAND CORNER TO MAKE IT LOOK MORE PROFESSIONAL, BECAUSE ALL THE MAINSTREAM MUSIC MAGAZINE'S I LOOKED AT. ALL THE MAST HEAD WAS A THE RIGHT HAND CORNER.
