Instructions For Front Page

I started off with a plain brick wall which I stretch to fit the page. Then I used the sponge tool and burn tool to lighten and darken parts of the wall where the writing was going to go.












Then I used the website www.dafont.com and got my font for the magazines name, and then used the Magic wand to remove the white outline from the writing to revel the brick walling.
Then I used the magnetic lasso tool to cut out the photo of Jade then for the last parts I used the magic wand. After I went on dafont.com again and got the font and strip for the Dymotape article title, I stretched it and moved it around to look like it had been taped onto the cover.






I then used the photos and logo’s id taken picture’s of and placed them into the spaces where the writing would go. Then I put the barcode in the bottom left hand corner. The reason I done this was to make sure I had more room for more information and pictures to go onto the page.















I then used dafont.com again to get the fonts for Herion, remedy, La Roux and Calvin Harris.
The reason I didn’t use the Magic wand to cut out the white was because I wanted the names to stand out so the readers eye is caught by the names that they recognise.

















I placed the yellow pug at the top of the title so that you can notice it a lot more than if it was hidden behind the main image like NME sometimes does.
