Design Process of Music Magazine Front Cover

This is the design process of my music magazine i had created my front cover using Adobe Photoshop CS6. Firstly i had taken the image that would feature on my music magazine.

I then used the magic eraser tool and the crop tool to get rid of the background i also enlarged the image

I now wanted to create my masthead because my music magazine is called A Magazine i wanted the letter A to be the base of the Masthead to do this first i had used the shape square tool and used the fill tool to color the square shape red.

I then used the rectangle tool and made a rectangle and the colored it in black this went next to the red box i then used the type tool to make the relevant text i used the font IMPACT this was the font used for the A. I then used the font hattenschweller to make the word magazine this text would go on top of the black box. i then changed the color to white so the wording could be seen.

Now i was happy with the masthead i wanted to make the strap lines that would appear on my Front cover the strap line would be names of artists that would feature in my magazine i use the hattenschweller font and then colored the text in red to make the lettering standout

I then wanted for text to appear on the picture to act as if the artist has a message for the readers i used the Ebrima font i then colored in the text in white and green

The last thing i wanted to do was to make a background for my magazine i did this by using the rectangle shape tool and made the rectangle an off white color i then wanted to the shape behind all of my other elements to do this sent the shape down the other layers

This was my finished music magazine front cover
