Stages of front cover.

1) Firstly, I started by filling my background black using the paint bucket tool.

2) Then I uploaded my original picture and begun to edit it.

In order to edit it I used the dodge tool and the tool box to brighten the image and change the saturation, I also used the dodge tool to brighten her eyes and the tool box to change the colour of her lips. 

3) After editing my image, I used the gradiant tool to drag the black background across, so it would darken half her face.

4) After editing my photo and background, I added a box for my masthead using the shape tool. 

5) Then I copied a barcode image of the internet and pasted it to my work, I used the shift button to make sure I did not distort it while changing the size and dragging it in the corner.

6) After getting the basic outline ready I begun to add more detail like the banner at the top of the masthead using the shape tool and the fill bucket.

7) Then I added my headline using the text tool, I then changed the fonts and colours of alternative words to make them stand. I also used a strike through the good to emphasis she is no longer good.

8) I then added my masthead, rhythm. However I copied the layer so I could have black lettering over the top of white lettering, to make it more noticable to the reader.

9) In order to make my taglines stand out I put red and white boxes to place the text in using the shape tool and the fill bucket again.

10) Finally, I added all the text on using different fonts, colours and sizes to make them eye catching. 

Stages of contents page.

To begin my contents page, I started by using the shape tool to put a black border round my page to make it stand out.

I then carried on using the shape tool to add a line going across the page and a long red rectangle across the top of the page to add my title contents.

After adding the rectangle, I added the contents title and issue number by using the text tool and copied and pasted my front cover using the shift key to make sure I did not distort it. 

Before listing my artciles, I used the shape tool to make a black box so I could place the words features and regulars in as I wanted to emphasis these as they are important and informative.


I then listed my storylines using the text tool and changing the fonts and sizes of them to make the key information of the article stand out.

To break the articles up and make the page look more colourful, I seperated them with bold red lines, I used the shape tool to draw out one and then copied the layer to make sure they were all precisely the same size. 

After finishing my main storylines, I added  three different images on the left hand side and used the shape tool to make small black rectangles to divide them.


After moving my images using the shift key to make sure they did not distort, I added three small white boxes using the shape tall and rotated them accordingly to the way I wanted them. I then added red contrasting text using the text tall to inform the reader what pages these stars were on.

Finally, I added a pug at the bottom to make sure there was no plain space. In order to make the pug I uploaded an image of New York as this was the free give away. I then used the shape tool to make a black circle to form a border round the U.S.A circle in which I copied a picture of the U.S.A flag of the internet and used a circle cut out tool to use the part i wanted. Finally i did used the text tool to write on the pug, I changed the font of win and New York as these were the parts I wanted to emphasis, I then copied the layer several times to get a dark to light effect. 

Stages of double page spread.

To begin my double page spread, I uploaded my main image on the left hand side and used the burn tool to darken the right hand side.

Then I used the gradient tool to drag across the dark black background from the right hand side to the left to surround my model in a soft back glow.


As it is a double page spread, I put a temporary line down the centre to make sure I did not put anything along this line as it would get lost in the crease. I also uploaded a film strip to add photos in.
After adding the film strip, I put four different pictures inside it by using the magic wand tool and layers.


After finishing the background, I added the interview using the text tool and changing the colour and font of the writing.

I then added the headline using the text tool, however in order to get the love and bad different from the other text I copied and pasted them of the interenet, zoomed in and filled them both in red.

Finally, I finished off by adding minor conventions like page numbers and also an arrow point towards the next page to emphasise the interview goes on.
