Magazine Front Cover

This is my Magazine front cover, I wanted to keep the colour scheme as blue, white and black. I put the 'xfactor' in red as that is the colour of the show and people will be drawn to that story and want to buy the magazine to see it for themselves.  

How i created my front cover

The picture above show the way that i have made my front cover, i have added several layers that made sure that the picture looks good and changed the colour so that it blends in with the colour scheme but also stands out. There are different types of layers such as the text is all above the picture apart from the main magazine title which is at the top of the cover, other text has gone over the top of the picture this is just to show that i know how to put the text above the picture rather than behind it. The bar-code is on the front cover because it fills space and allows for the viewers to see it. The price, website and date are all in the same text to show that they are all promotional and are advertising the magazine and also giving people the information that they need to buy the magazine.
