I added some images that I had taken that would look good as posters however they blended in with the background so I adjusted the blending options to add an effect to the outside of the images. I chose outer glow and change the default colour to white to make it contrast with the cover image

Another thing that blended in with the cover image is part of the mast head, but I didn’t think it looked good all in white, so I decided to put a shape underneath the masthead so it showed up against the cover image. I changed the transparency/opacity so it wasn’t dominate over the page and you are still able to see the image.

I didn’t like the font of the lead article as it looked too much like a poster. I used a brush to make the font looked broken up and would then share similar importance to the mast head. I decided to make the font red to make it stand out which I did by using colour range and filling it with red, but because I had used red I felt the mast head needed to include some of this colour too to maintain house style and so the lead article didn’t look lost in the page in a different colour
To add the red into the masthead I used the paint bucket tool to change the colour of the flash box and to also fill in some of the letters in red.

In the end I decided to add another flash box behind the other half of the mast head, this made the graphic look whole by both sections having a box behind them. I chose to fill it in red because now the masthead shows the 3 colour that will be used throughout the magazine to maintain house style.
I changed the colour of the lead article to make it stand out from the other cover lines on the page. I included a strap line and used a flash box behind it to show clearly that its part of the lead article.

I wanted to add an effect to make the posters stand out. I decided to use ‘blood splats’ I downloaded and appropriate brush for this. However I wanted the ‘stamp’ to be the other way round, so in order to get it in the place that I wanted it to be, I rotated my image of the poster, used the brush as a stamp and then rotated the image back into place. After this I changed the blening optios so it fitted with the image and also added a bevel/emboss feature to the brush so that it looked more realistic and captures the reader’s attention

I carried on changing the colours of fonts till I was happy with them and also used the outer glow on the blending options as a way to deal with the blending issues. I changed the sharpness and opacity of the glow to make the text look like it has a bold outline which I also used on the masthead to make it have a clean finish.

Earlier I found it difficult to use the brush in the angle that I wanted. For my DPS I wanted to use the guitar brush and needed it to be exactly 180o . As I was using a newer version of photoshop, I found an option where you were able to change the orientation of the brush , I used this so that I could get the brush in exactly the right place.
Here I have included a screen shot of the different orientation of the brushes and show the angle they create.
