- 2. To achieve this I first selected a font that I thought would appeal to the audience that my magazine is aimed at. I chose Candara as it is not childish as I could have used for example Comic Sans if I was aiming my magazine at younger students. I is formal, yet appealing to read.
- 3. As I decided that ‘Starting out’ was the part people would read first, thought it needed to stand out more than the rest of the text. To do this, I increased the size of it, and I also inserted a drop shadow behind it.
- 4. Seen as though the mast head is the part that people will be looking at first, I need to make it stand out. First of all I used the Bevel and Emboss tool I then included a to give it a slight 3D Gradient Overlay to effect. get the fading of colours.
- 5. To get this background all I did was select the rectangle tool, drag to the size I wanted it to be and lightly tilt it. I then selected the colour I wanted it to be. I chose blue as it fits in with the theme of my magazine.
