design cover part 6

I added some shapes in a different layer and put them underneath the text layers to make them stand out more. I chose to do this because there was a similar layout in a popular music magazine and thought it would look good in my design.

  I added all of the text onto the page but decided that it doesn't stand out enough because it is difficult to read.

I used the mask tool and mask edge to erase the image around her head which allowed me to get the final design of the model being in front of the title.

I duplicated the layer and put it on top of the original so I could get her head over the title to follow common conventions of a magazine.

 I picked this image for my front cover because she looks edgy and confident which is what will attract my target audience. she also looks attractive which again, will appeal to my audience. she is holding her shirt open, as though she is opening up to the readers and telling them her story.

 I picked this image for my contents page because it will look as though she is looking directly at the page (I will need to flip the image as I want her to be on the left side of the page)

I picked this image for my article because it will look like she is looking directly at the article and I have discovered that this is frequently used in Q, as shown in my style model.
