Creating the Magazine Cover

After I had imported the three images into Photoshop, I positioned them so that they made up the original shape of the image. I then chose a brush that replicated the look of spray paint. I used the brush to create smudges on the images and a yellow sticker to sit behind the main cover line. I made the sticker semi-transparent so that you could still see hints of the cover image underneath, I did the same with the masthead. 


Next, I found a barcode from the internet and imported it into Photoshop. I positioned it in the bottom left hand side so that it was visible but not in the way of the text or image. 


After that, I created the cover lines. I varied the colour of the text but kept it within the colour scheme. Varying the colour meant that it draws attention and makes it more readable for the audience.  The font of the cover lines were in Calibri. This is because it's readable and sans serif. Sans serif font works well with my magazine cover because it isn't formal.
