Front Cover Stages

When i was making my front cover, the first thing i done was place the image on an A4 sized canvas. to do this i clicked: File, place, then selected the image i chose for my front cover and then clicked ok.
Next thing for me to do was to add in the title of the magazine "Hustle". Once i had placed the font on the page i had to change the colour of it using the paint bucket tool to fill it. i chose yellow as it is eye catching and stands out. I also began to place the text for my main article. For this i used a plain red bold font to stand out. the red also mixes well with the yellow.
Then i added in the next part of the main article using the same bold text and same size. Then i decided to change the title of the main article to yellow rather than red as it looks more proffesional and stands out from other text on the page.
Next i added in all the other text onto the page, keeping to the house style i used red and yellow text for the articles, i also used white text for certain parts of the page as it stood out more as yellow did not mix in well with that part of the background.

I aslo put in the barcode at the bottom right corner of the page as this is the typical location where you would find a barcode on a magzine.
