For my front cover, I wanted the masthead to be an original font, to make it stand out. To achieve this, I drew the font I wanted by hand and then scanned it into the computer. When I first scanned it, I had only drawn it in pencil, so it wasn't visible. Therefore, I had to draw it again with a marker, which made it more prominent and noticable. I then inverted the colours on Photoshop, as I wanted the text white, and the background black - this is because the background for my front cover is black. To finish off, I smoothed the edges with a paint brush as they were slightly pixelated, and placed it at the top of the cover.
The font I have drawn almost looks as though it is dripping, and has a slime effect, I drew it this way to fit the genre of the magazine and make it different to other mastheads on other magazines.
