This week I created my front cover. I uploaded the masthead that I had drawn and scanned and placed it on a black background. To get the photo infront of the masthead, I simply moved the layers. I wanted it infront as it is typical for magazines to do this. I wanted a white border around the image to link it to the coverline and masthead. The grey box which supports the bottom coverlines is a darker white as I wanted to vary it as it is less significant than the coverlines and masthead as it is just a background colour. I added essential info such as barcode/price as this is important to add to a magazine cover. I used black and white for contrast, so that my magazine would stand out.
