Front Cover Major Task - 22nd March

I continued working on my front cover today, at the weekend I took photograpghs of my friend to use in my major task. I started today by uploading these photos, I chose the head shot for my front cover and so edited it in 'Photoshop', all I had to do was cover up some blemishes using the cover up tool and then I deleted the white background using the cutting tool. I then had to print screen this image into 'Paint' as my computer wouldnt allow me to insert an image from 'Photoshop' into my 'Indesign' document. Once I had done this I cut the part of the image I wanted from the print screen and save this . I then dragged the edited image into my 'Indesign' document as the main focus of the front cover.

I also and some text to my front cover describing one of the contents of the magazine, this was a competition to win tickets to a concert, to do this I had to make a new layer and add a box I then filled this yellow so it stood out from the black background of the front cover, I then added text to this box and changed the font to bold 'Century Gothic'.
