1) I began with a simple photo of two students standing in front of a form of art structure inside college, I have chosen this photo as the front cover image because it clearly shows how happy the students are to be in college.
2) The masthead is then created with the font "Jonze & Jozing", enhanced with drop shadow and stroke to create depth.
3) By erasing part of the masthead, it makes it seem like the student is in front of it, allowing the masthead to become part of the image meaning it will blend in with the photo and look as realistic as possible. I have also added a green parallelogram as banner and set the opacity to 60% for a softer look.
4) I have tried to put "The Christmas Edition" as the cover line on top of the green banner, however it seems too crowded so I changed it. The colour of the font is red with white outline, which are colours associated with Christmas along with the green banner. As if that is not enough, I decided to create even more of a festive cover with the fonts 'ChristmasEve' and 'PWChristmasfont'. With "Special Chritmas Edition", the readers will believe that this is an extraordinary edition which will interest them.
5) I then added the taglines on the sides of the cover, which will intrigue the readers to pick it up and browse through. The font I used is 'WhisperADream', which looks handwritten and casual so it will not intimidate the readers. The dark blue outline of the font not only will make the words stand out, it is also a similar colour to the student's jacket which takes up a big part of the image, this will allow the taglines to look as if it was part of the image. By using different sizes on the tagline, it shows the importance of certain words which will capture the reader's attention immediately.
