1. The first thing that I did was decide what background I was going to have. I decided to do a pattern background and then a colour overlay.

2. Then I decided how I was going to have my masthead I decided to go with a basic font so its easy to read and then I decided to put a purple coloured overlay on the title to keep with the purple theme.

3. After I had done the background and title I then decided to do the selling line I decided to go with something basic I then changed the font to papyrus and changed the colour to black so it would stand out on the purple background.

4. I then added a star shape and filled it in with a slightly darker purple so it stood out from the background.

5. I then added a barcode because every magazine has to have one.

6. The next thing that I did was add some words onto the top of my star shape. I chose the colour black so it would stand out. I put the word free in bold so that it would attract peoples attention.

7. I then put two cover lines on the left hand side. I only did two because I didn’t want the page to seem to over crowded.

8. I then added a medium close up of a girl wearing a scarf because this is a winter addition magazine. I made her do a pose that was serious but casual at the same time. I used the magic lasso to cut her out of a picture.

9. For the contents background I decided to do with the same colour and same background so my magazine looks consistent.

10.For the title of this page I decided to do another simple font. I then added a drop shadow and an inner shadow to make it look more appealing.

11. To make my magazine look more wintery I decided that I was going to print white snow flakes on the background I got the snow flakes from Psbrushes.net

12. I then added the text winter addition to show the season change. I put this in the font papyrus and coloured it black to stand out.

12. I then added a picture of a group of girls to show the reader a little glimpse of what they are about to read about. i also used the magic lasso to cut these girls out of an existing photo.

13. I then used the shape tool that was already on Photoshop to add a wavy box around the edge on this picture.

14. I then added the content of the magazine. I used a front from Photoshop and then did a purple overlay over it.

15. I then used the papyrus font to add a some text in the right hand corner and coloured it purple.

16. And then to finish it all off the used the shape tool to add a box around the title.
