The process of creating one of my draft magazine covers

This is the photo I have chosen to use for a draft of my magzine cover.

 

I then added in the name of the magazine. 

I then decided that I would put the text behind my model as this is conventional of some magazines. This step was quite hard to do because of his hair.

Next i added my barcode and date, I decided to put it on its side and at the end of 'RISE' instead of underneath because it was too long and meant that it went over the model and dissapeared as its a similar colour.

I then added some text down either side, I had to make sure the text was bold and dark enough to be read over the model.

I chnaged the brightness of the picture so it was easier to read the black text.

I have now added the price of the magazine and made it stand out on a red background so it draws in the audiences attention.

I felt the bottom of the magazine looked a bit empty so I added something to get attention from the reader.
