Today, I began the creation of my front cover. I began this process by selecting the size of my page. I decided to make it an A4 document. I also increased the resolution so that the images were clear. I then dragged my image in and sized it accordingly. Next, I created my masthead. I chose Arial Black for my font in a dark purple colour because it is a clear, bold font which stands out against the other fonts. I then began to add my sell lines. For the majority of my sell lines, I have chosen a font called Windsor Hand because it is a very stylish, elegant looking font and worked well with my magazine style. Another of the fonts that I have chosen to feature on my front cover is a font called Prestiege Elite Std. I have chosen this font because it looks like it has been written by a typewriter which I think looks effective. I have also underlined this font when it is used to make it stand out.
I then went on to add some smaller details to my cover. I noticed that often on the magazine that I have based Trend on (Company Magazine), patterns and textures are featured in the corners of the front cover. For my front cover, I chose to use some images of flowers that I cut out as my smaller details. I chose to use flowers as my magazine is supposed to be a spring isse and therefore needs to be very pretty and fresh looking. I put a slight fade on the flowers so that the text in front of them stood out still. I also added a slight outer glow to my masthead so that it still stood out.
