Here is my masthead that I constructed on Photoshop and my text was added on Adobe In Design, the picture was manipulated on Photoshop, I have the process of it on my blog (slide share).
The background was made with the ‘gradient tool’ on In design, it was a gradual fade from white to black and I added a colour overlay with the opacity set to 50; the blue tint carries on the themes of the magazine (blues represent how ‘cool’ the magazine).

Added it to In Design, I used the arrow tool to make it the correct size.
I purposely changed the colour of the ‘issue 21’ so it stands out; I will use these 2 text colours within the whole magazine to maintain and keep the house style and same themes

Why Have a Barcode• Having a barcode is
vital In keeping to codes and conventions of magazines, I have learnt is it definitely vital to have a barcode to make it look professional; I learnt that from making my school magazine (I made it on ‘paint’ programme, it wasn’t successful ).

Text goes over the image, makes the text stand out
Use of artist names, star persona targets their audience; makes you want to read on and see the stars images
TAG: ‘biggest’ makes the magazine seem more than it is; ‘worlds biggest’ tells the reader how successful the magazine is – makes the reader want to read inside.
