Final Front Cover for Music Magazine



Above is my final front cover for the music magazine "Ambience" that I have created. I created my final front cover on Adobe Photoshop 7.0 using one of my previous edited images. However I had to change the logo as the original decided logo was too dark and was not visible on the dark background colours I used. I used the text from the original decided logo and kept the same font style to create the new used logo.
By analysing front covers as part of my research, I gained valuable information and knew what I needed my own front cover to look like. I also completed a rough draft of my front cover before designing it, so I based my final idea around the original draft plan.
Photoshop allowed me to use a variety of tools when creating my final front cover. It allowed me to add and edit text, images and shapes. I gained experience using different tools on Photoshop by practising editing different images and therefore I applied my skills when designing my front cover. I used the magic wand tool to select certain parts of the image and layer them over text so it looked like my main image overlapped other text and shapes.
