Final Front Cover Progression

This is the original outline of my magazine cover. Before I can insert the final image for my
cover I will need to add more interesting fonts for the subtitles and subtext and create a border
for it. In order to make it stand up and compete effectively with other magazine covers and to make it
more graphically advanced and professional. As well as all the text advancements that need to be done
I also need to do a number of other things firstly I will need to insert the main image of the two cover models
and crop it down to the correct size so the other features e.g. other smaller images can be seen. Also when
inserted I will also need to ensure that it is placed behind all the other features of the magazine except from
the masthead, the reason being is because other magazines often do this to make it seem more fashionable
and mainstream. To decorate my cover further I am also planning to add some video game sprites, not only
will this give the background more decoration preventing it from looking too plain. Furthermore including
these sprites fits in well with the theme of gaming for my magazine.

Here is the image that I used complete with a very small level of manipulation to give it more
of an interesting effect.

Here is the final magazine cover - there were a number of stages that I had to go through
before I could reach this stage.

Video game sprites such as this needed to be added to give some colour and variation to the background.
It would also be used to fit in with the theme of gaming - this character design was taken from Marvel Vs
Capcom 2, a well known game among the real gamer and nerd tribe. This may be changed on my final magazine cover,



Finally I will need to download my final fonts from dafont.com in order to give my magazine more of an interesting text variety and so I am not limited to the fonts currently available on Photoshop CS6.

I will also need to add a bar code and price to my final image in order to complete the final effect of the magazine cover 

Brushes And Font Downloads

This is one of the font types that I was going to use for my front cover I like it because it fits with the theme of my magazine well and it looks good too. However this wasn't the final font type I used for my magazine instead I decided
to use the Neo Sci Fi font as it looks more stylish and fitting to the theme. I like the way it looks more serious and
professional by using a sans serif font this was one of the reasons why this font type was one of the ones I
was going to use.

This is the font type I used on my Christmas Card, it uses a serif style. I liked it simply because it went with the theme
of Christmas and the goofy nature of my card, it stood out from the background and allowed more emphasis on the
comedic message that I wanted to portray.



This was the final font type that I used for my front cover. I like it due to how it looks for one the sans serif style font helps to fit in with the more controversial issue of gaming and it also allows itself to fit in with the theme of science fiction due to its jagged edges and blocky font type. However it sometimes can be hard to read certain words because of the way the letters look, its a relatively large flaw with the text but generally the text can be read easily and thus the message can be found.
