College Magazine Cover

Finally, I added the cover lines, price, barcode and the main cover line, suitable to the picture; ''Exam Stress Turning Your Life Upside Down???".
At this point, since the mast head was in place, I decided to start working on the sky line, and I also added a vertical arrow, which went well with the image of me upside down.

After saving it on my pen drive, I took it home and designed the mast head using a wacom board that I have for my home computer so that I could literaly draw the text by hand myself.


After using Curves to adjust the toning and colour, I used the liquify tool to manipulate its shape greatly.



Then I added the background of which I had planned to place the mast head.




I then cropped it and used the Dodge tool to highlight the edges of my body, giving it a 'glowing' feel.





I started out with the original photograph of me doing a handstand against a wall with graffiti on it which i thought would go well will my already decided title 'LEARNING GROUND' as it sounds quite urban which is the overall feel I wanted to get across to the consumer of the college magazine.
