College magazine front cover

                                                           Front Cover:

My front cover of my Collage Magazine. This was my first time making a front cover of a magazine. I created this using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, it was also my first time using Adobe. On the front cover i have used a masthead, which is the title of this magazine in this case 'In House'. I used a big, bold and colourful font so i know that it'll stand out above the image. I also added the release date of the magazine and the issue number. There is a main story on the front cover which i used another font for; keeping the colour scheme the same as the masthead. The front cover is very plain and simple. Using only two colours and a medium close-up of a Sixth Form College student. I'm fairly pleased with this front cover as it is the first one i've ever made but when i make the front cover for my Music Magazine i shall make it a lot more busy and, a lot more colours to attract students attention, more main stories to draw the audience in and with the image, it'll make it more clear, as you can see on the photo there is a fair few blemishes and redness, i did try to use the spot healing brush on Adobe Photoshop but as you can see i only made it look worse, so on my next magazine i'll try to work on that more so i don't get any redness in the image. Many improvements need to be made but as this was my first front cover of a magazine i don't think i did too bad.
