Front cover | Fmp Website

In the first step, Ive added my main image for my front cover as everybody knows this famous person. It links in well with both my topics as he is a famous footballer and he is in a lifestyle magazine. Hence, it blends in well with both my topics, I have made the image smaller so everybody will be able to see my title because my name isn't known so I have made the image smaller, it then left some white space up top where my title would go so I had to use the clone stamp tool so I could cover up the white space with the colours that are used on the image itself.

In the second step, I added the title of my magazine I linked in both genres I will include in my magazine 'style' part of it links to lifestyle, and 'sports' side is the sports side and with the red box I've tried to use the sky sports style title that they use to use on my magazine and it works well with the image and also it doesn't colour clash with the background so it pops out from the background.

In step three - seven, I added just some articles that I've got in my magazine I didn't want to add all of them because they wouldn't fit and they would cover up the main image so you would be able to see the image that well and also so I wouldn't give much away or they wouldn't look and read the articles that are in my magazine, I've made os of the headlines bigger as they are big topics and the smaller sizes aren't that important but the are still worth looking into.

In step eight, Ive added the name of the athlete in the corner just in case anyone didn't know who he was, I also added this because I got feedback from my tutor and they shared another sports front cover and they had their athletes name in the corner and it was a good idea to have that just in case no one knew who he was, I made the font cover to link with the background on the image as its a nice colour and it's a lifestyle colour, I've added a stroke to it so it doesn't blend in with the background and so it pops out from the background.

In the last step, I added a barcode to make it look like a legit magazine but I had to get a barcode image and then just add a box behind it to make it stand out.
