Image 1 - On my magazine front cover i have included a barcode. This is a convention for most music magazine to have the barcode on the front of their magazine.

Image 2 - Here i have included a banner with the buzz word "Exclusive" on it. I have done this to draw attention to the cover story.

Image 3 - Here is my masthead. I decided to defy convention and make my masthead in the top left hand corner. I have done this because it is bright and will generally draw attention to my magazine.

Image 1 -  I used the magic wand tool to delete the background from my image. So i can have a plain black background on my magazine

Image 2 - In this image i used the blur tool to blur the outside of my image. This makes it less sharp and makes the model stand out more.
