Skills Development - Photoshop


To complete my magazine front cover I added the cover lines, a puff and a bar code.  With the cover lines, I placed a rectangle, coloured it then placed a text box over it, I found out that I could lock the layers of the rectangle and the text box in order to move them around the document simultaneously.

Once I was happy with my background and main image, I added a title. I got the text from dafont.com and I changed the colour of it in Photoshop.  I put the title behind the main image by changing the order of the layers. I also added strap lines and slug lines, by placing a text box.

I used Photoshop to produce the front cover of my magazine.  To start it off I changed the background colour. The first couple of layers I added where the main image, I placed the imaged where i wanted it and then duplicated the layer. I turned the second layer grey and put it behind the main image to give a shadow effect.
