Preliminary: Mock - Up of Front Cover

To produce this front cover I took a picture of three students in my college called Jodie, Linzi and Chelsea.
I put the image by uploading it on to Photoshop CS3 and I then edited the image. The edits I made are; I blended in some of the light and shade on the faces and hair. Also I changed the colour around thier eyes.
Then I put my new image on to Illustrator CS3 and I added a title, a puff box for my price in, a sell line and a bar code.
To improve my front cover I will cut around my image, so that it just shows the students and not the background of the wall and make it look more professional using Photoshop CS3. I will also add some more sell lines and add a date and issue number to the magazine cover to make it look like a real and professional finish to the cover.
