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.
