Firstly, i duplicated the picture then on one of the pictures i cut round the edge of the figure by using the polygonal lasso to get the figure out and deleted the background. On the other image i blurred it out then with the cut out figure i kept it normal and put it on top so in all it looked more focused on the figure and this will stand out a lot more.
Then from my research of masthead and the typeface i chose i placed that in and made it look interesting by making the sixth small then the string larger which i think turned out great. I then placed a guitar picture which i found off google as i didn't have access to this guitar and placed it at an angle over the text layer and it turned out very good!
I then added the website and selling line beneath the masthead which i think works well. I placed the bar code which i got off google images at the bottom right because it is less significant than the other features. Lastly, i added the issue number and date at the top left of the page because this is a very important feature to those that follow the series of this magazine.
Now i started to add cover lines and images of the articles within the magazine. I attempted to include a variety of fonts, colors and sizes to make it more interesting and creative looking however i decided to make a theme which is blue and white.
I added more features that will make the reader want to buy the magazine even more which i think are very important.
I added a splash promoting feature so the reader will buy it because they have the sense of winning something which is satisfying. Then a 'limited edition' feature so when they look at this it will intrigue them that this is a special magazine and its a one time thing.
Lastly, as it was bare at the bottom i decided to include a strip that goes along with another cover line on it. I wanted the reader to know that the magazine is filled with many stories so i placed a lot of cover lines all over the magazine cover.
