today i have completed my magazine front cover, which i am really pleased with. i have developed my skills on Photoshop and eventually put the straplines and other images or text onto my front cover using Photoshop rather than a Publishing programme. i have improved my skills by being able to edit fonts more effectively; positioning, size, style etc. however, a new thing which i have learnt today is how to insert shapes onto the cover. at first i had some difficulty getting a filled circle onto the cover, as each time i then clicked off it to insert text into it, it would dissappear. i then experimented with the various tools on Photoshop and managed to choose the right tool which made a cirlce template, which i then filled in purple to match the title of 'Empire'. i am overall really happy with the outcome of my front cover.
