Refined Magazine Cover

Since this is the final task I wanted everything to be perfect so I couldn't help but go over my magazine cover again and make a few refinements.

The first thing I felt could be improved was the main cover line being moved a little further down to provide a sharper juxtaposition to the other cover lines. So I selected all the relevant textual layers and the layer with the brush stroke and moved it further down with the help of the move tool.


The next thing I wanted to improve was the leading of the description of the main cover line. I increased the leading to 14 and extended the text box slightly horizontally so it wouldn't look like a separate element from the title.


I now feel content with my magazine cover looking like this:

"The Beginning is Always Today" Forlorn, a girl stares out the window, unseeing. This world bores her. So she makes a new one. And then another. And another. And another. And another.

Being seventeen and deeply intoxicated with the art of story telling and sharing said stories with the masses through a medium which brings us all together, taking Media Studies in my A levels was a natural choice.  Along with Psychology, Literature in English and History, it evolves my understanding of people and aids me in my aspiration of telling an exciting tale; mine. I look forward to telling you more about my project as it progresses and myself.  Keep reading!

Software To edit the cover picture for my final task, and creating the magazine cover itself, I'll be using Adobe Photoshop. This the software I used and practiced for my preliminary tasks and am therefore comfortable with the software, making it an apt choice. My acquaintance with the tools available and their location in the software only further aids my decision. I can foresee myself using certain tools like gray scale and the poly lasso tool which is going to help me refine the look of my magazine, bringing it to the standard of my target market. I look forward to my creative endeavors.
