The first thing thing that I did when making my magazine cover was edit my main focus point. When doing this I used the main picture that I had used in my DVD sleeve. When editing my main picture I used the Magic wand tool to remove the background so that I twas clear to put onto a blank page. once I had scaled my picture to the right size, I then when onto Image, Adjustments then went onto Brightness/ Contrast so that the picture would have more of a dark shine to it. I used colour balance to that I could make the colour of my picture more blue/red.
Once I finished editing my main focus for my
magazine cover I then edited the title of my magazine cover. By doing this I
used the text tool and used the font Lucida Bright and for the letter C I used
the font Future. Then I went onto special effects to give the text a shadow
drop.
Once I edited the title of my magazine cover I then
worked on the extra bits of text that I needed for my cover, this is so the
audience will know what kind of magazine it is and what you will be able to
read inside the magazine. For this I used the font Lucida Grande. I then used
Special effects to give the text a shadow drop so that the text did not become
lost within the background.
The final thing that I did when creating my
magazine cover was adding a bar code from the corner of the cover. When doing
this I needed to scale the bar code to size so that it didn't look too big on
my cover. I also taken a picture from Google of the film Home front. Once I
scaled the picture to size I then used the paint brush tool and painted the
bottom of the picture red so that the american flag become more bold.
