Finally in came the rest of the text regarding page numbers etc, with alternate black and white colours refleced once again on the other side for style and 'punch'.






















Then in came chris, in black and white, reflected either side and high in contrast. Also i added in the text saying what page, Chris and his band are being interviewed on. The bright, contrasting colours of the spikey thing in the middle work well i think, again, suitable for the house style. they were composed of many different layers and with an outer glow effect also.




















So, I started off with a texture as a background and designed an arrow with the word contents reflecte don either side. looking back now I think it would have been better to have done more with the back ground other than just a straight texture...

Finally, I inserted Chris! and the skyline text along with a price and 'RL productions'. Overall I am pleased with how it turned out.






















In this stage I slightly lowered the mast head to make room to design a skyline. Also at this stage i inserted cover lines with a very bold look to them which suited the house style of the magazine. Aswell as this i also added a bar code.






























Then i focused on the main cover line, i used the same technique for this as i did the mast head, apart from I also used the texturizer and gave it an icy, cold feel to it.












Next was the mast head, made up of to layers. the bottom layer with a strong gaussian blur filter and the top one with slightly dropped opacity for the blur beneath to give it a glowing look.























I started of with to simple brush textures that I then altered by using layers and curves and also levels.
