1. FRONT COVERStarting image of Luke, uploaded onto Photoshop.To making to image look more like a dance magazine, and not having to cut it out and replace thebackground, I changed the brightness and contrast. This is feel gives the image a more techno/dancefeeling through the use of colour and style.

2. I then, once image editing was complete, I searched for a suitable font using dafont.com. I thoughtthis font was suitable for the target market and genre of the magazine due to the distorted, urbanstyle.I then realised, having not discontented the background with the image for the image to overlay thetext. So using the lasso tool, I copied onto the top part of the image, which then this with overlay thetext but the overall image will appear normal. 3. I then, using a font from dafont.com, I wrote the main headline. I found the text to be thin so usedthe stroke technique and added an outline to make the text bolder.I then using the same font, to keep with the theme and create things which would look like theywould be in every issue, I created a strap line situated at the top and drawn a circle using the circletool and used the paint bucket to make it the same colour as the main headline. 4. I then added a new font, to create diversity, and other dance magazines do this. Adding a puff, is adifferent way of advertising information, adding dimensions to the cover and is striking for thereader to see.I added more cover lines around the left and ride side to stick with the conventions of a magazinecover; I used the same text in the puff for this to connect each element together. I added a boarderto inject the same colour as the main headline to connect each element, also having the blue as inthe questionnaire this was a popular colour. 5. Adding extra information, price, bar code, issue date- sticking to conventions.I then, looking at other dance magazines, their main headline stood out a lot more than mine does.So I added a background to make it stand out and draw peoples attention in. Making thebackground transparent slightly makes, I feel, the overall front cover look more modern andyouthful. 6. After thinking I was finished, I printed it out and realised the main headline and puff were too big soI resizes this and added a strap line at the bottom to add more information and stick to theconventions.I then added the information, also adding an image to create diversity, advertising more content andcreate depth.
