This is my College magazine front cover. Firstly, I got somebody to take a midshot photograph of myself outside. Secondly, I then uploaded my picture onto my computer and posted it on to PhotoShop. I then cropped the picture by using the Magic Wand tool to delete the background and only have the image of myself visible. Afterwards, I transferred my image onto Adobe Illustrator for further editing. I got a picture of my 6th Form study area to use as a background in a longshot view so a wide majority of the space was captured. Next, I uploaded the image to my computer and posted it on to Illustrator. By dragging the picture into the tab where the picture of myself was, I cropped and resized the background picture so it fit into my template and sent it back so it was now a proper background. I then had to adjust my previous image so it looked professional with the background. After this, I browsed the web to find a text tool when I found a website that provided me with the text I would go on to use as my title. By using MWSnap, I captured this text and I placed the text at the top of my cover in Illustrator. I then used the shape tool on Illustrator to create my puffs using 2 different shapes.
By using the text tool, I wrote what I wanted to be in my puffs and dragged the text into my shapes. After, I searched google images to find a barcode; by finding the image I wanted, I saved it and inserted it into Illustrator and onto my magazine cover, placing it in an appropriate place. Then, I used the shape tool again to create a star-shape to show the price of the magazine. By repeating the step I took to place text in my shapes, I had completed the magazine price and, therefore, my magazine cover.
