1) I began with this landscape photo, I like how the model is looking directly into the camera and the mise-en-scene was perfect for my magazine
2) I edited the photo to make it into portrait as well as altering the colour, contrast, and vibrancy to give it a feel of retro, which relates to indie-pop.
3) Then I typed out the masthead with the font "Old Press".
4) By erasing a portion of the masthead, it allows it to blend in with the photograph as if it is actually placed behind the model's head.
5) I created shapes with the transparency of 70% to be placed above the masthead and as a background to the main cover line.
6) I typed up some names of other artists in the genre of indie-pop that are featured in the magazine and I was choosing between the fonts "Arial black" and "Haettenschweiler" to be use for the main cover line.
7) In the end I went with "Haettenschweiler" and added a blue outline and drop shadow to give it dimension. I have also included the taglines for the cover line. I thought the taglines would look too simple even with the addtion of bold outline, therefore I decided to create small star shapes to make it more interesting and attracting.
8) Next I moved onto plugs and promotions, I first made a yellow box which the colour is linked to the image, then I created dots as the outline of the box.
9) I typed up "Free posters" in "Haettenschweiler" and added drop shadow.
10) I've also added two pictures of the posters to show the audience what they can have for free.
11) I added the final touch of another cover line on the left side of the magazine, as well as the date, price and bar-code for the magazine.
