The first thing I did was put the background and changed the colour using the character window and use the eye dropper tool to select a colour.

Next I used the shape tool to draw a box at the top of the page. I then used the character window to change the colour to white.

Next I added text using the text tool. I used the character window to change the size of the font, the font style, the width and height, the colour. I used the layer style to add a stroke around the text.

Next I added colons to the top of the page. I used the character window to change the position and height and width.

Next I added more text to the top of the page. I used the character window to change the font style, size, width and height of the text.

Next I used the shape tool to create a shape in the top right corner of the magazine. I used the character window to change the length, width, height and colour.

Next I added my main cover line. I used the character window to change the height, length, width, font style and colour. I used the shape tool to draw the boxes behind the text and the character window to change the colour. I used the layer style to add stroke around the text.

Next I added the main image. I did this by taking a picture of these three boys. I then on Photoshop got rid of the background and split each one apart so I could adjust the lining of all three of them.

Next I added this text. First using the character window I found text most similar to the one on the original magazine. I added each bit of text on a separate layer so I can move it about. Again with the character window I changed the colour of the text.

Next I added the colour boxes behind the text. I used the box tool to draw boxes. Each box is on a separate layer so I could move them behind the text. I then double clicked on the layer and changed the colour matching the original magazine.

Next I added this text and thumbnails. First I wrote “poster special” and “30 seconds to mars” on separate layers so I could move them and using the character window add stroke to “30 seconds to mars”. I then added the thumbnails. Then using the box tool I added a red box behind the thumbnails to make it look as though it has a red border.

Next I got a thumbnail of a barcode from the internet. I then placed it on my magazine rotating it making it look similar to the original magazine.

Next I got a thumbnail of Biffy Clyro album cover. Then I double clicked on that layer and added a stroke giving it a white border.

Next I got a thumbnail of Bring me the horizon. I then double clicked on the layer and added a stroke giving it a white border. Then I wrote each bit of text on separate layers. This is so I can move them and change the size and font using the character window. Then I added a black box using the box tool behind the text. I then added a stroke to the box giving it a white background.

Next I added a star shape to use as a puff. Then I added the text inside the puff. Using the character window I changed the font and colour to match the original magazine.
