When Photoshop is opened, the first thing to do is to find the word “File” at the top of the computer screen and when highlighted then click on “New”. A box will then appear. The Document Type must be International Paper, if the Document Type does not say International Paper but something else it can be changed by clicking a visible arrow facing downwards which then shows the different Document Types available. It is at this moment when you click on International Paper, when this is done click OK.

After clicking OK, this should appear on the computer screen.

To get the image that is going to be used as the magazine front cover for “Teen Rulez!” (Film) go to the top of the screen (shown in the previous slideshow) and find the word “File” and when highlighted then click on “Open”. After this find the image and open it. It should then should appear in a new tab in Photoshop.

To get the image onto the Film Magazine tab highlight the whole image from whichever corner using the Rectangular Marquee Tool (which can be seen highlighted) with the left side of the mouse. When this is done go to the top of the page, find the word “Edit” and when highlighted then click on “Copy”.

When back on the Film Magazine tab go to the top of the screen, find the word “Edit” and when highlighted click on “Paste”. After this the image copied should appear on the screen.

To make the image bigger without spreading it start by going to the top of the screen finding the word “Edit” and when highlighted click on “Free Transform”. After this the image would look like this. Make sure that the image layer (Layer 1) is highlighted.

The next step in making the image bigger without spreading it to move the image when highlighted after clicking “Free Transform” to the top left corner, when this is done hold and drag the bottom right corner of the image using the left side of the mouse and hold the “Shift” button on the keyboard to the bottom of the page.

The next part of creating the magazine front cover for “Teen Rulez!” (Film) is creating the Masthead/Title for the magazine, in this case the Masthead/Title will be “Teen Rulez!”. Firstly, select the Horizontal Type Tool and click and drag a box where the Masthead/Title will be typed up.

Type the Masthead/Title in your chosen colour, choice of font and size of the font, in this case I am using the colour White, the font size is 80 pt and the chosen front is Eras Bold ITC. However, since the background of the image I am using is also white it is hard to see the Masthead/Title so I will make the Masthead/Title have a Black outline so it can be visible for the target audience.

To get a Black outline for the Masthead/Title make sure the “Teen Rulez!” layer is highlighted and go to the top of the screen, find the word “Layer” find the words “Layer Style” and click either “Drop Shadow” or “Stroke”.

When “Stroke” is clicked change the position to “Outside”, this will be where the outline will be. I also changed the size of the outline from 1 px to 30 px and I make the colour of the outline Black. Once this is done click OK, the Layer Style box will then disappear and will be returned to the Film Magazine tab in Photoshop.

To finalise the Masthead/Title move it to an appropriate place, mainly near the top of the page as most magazines Mastheads/Titles are positioned towards the top page.

To get the barcode that is going to be used at the bottom right hand side of the front cover go to the top of the screen and find the word “File” and when highlighted then click on “Open”. After this find the image of the barcode and open it. It should then should appear in a new tab in Photoshop.

When this is done go to the top of the page, find the word “Edit” and when highlighted then click on “Copy”.

I made a few adjustments to the magazine front cover to make it more appealing to the target audience. The first thing I did was get rid of all the coverlines shown on the right hand side of the cover shown on the previous slide and change the image.

The second thing I did was stretch the Masthead to make it bigger and attract the target audience.

The third thing I did was move the main coverline a little bit more to the right.

The fourth and final thing I did was alter the coverlines that were shown on the left side of the front cover by shortening them and changing them slightly, however, the top two coverlines are kept the same. The image shown on the left shows the finished Film magazine front cover for “Teen Rulez!”
