Creating my front cover
using In Design

Placing my image I first put a rectangular box over the page which was where the main image on my front cover would fit. I did this by pressing the ‘Rectangle Frame Tool’ which is found on the left hand side of the programme on the long tool bar.
I then went to ‘File’ which is found at the top left of the programme. Then a drop down menu appeared as you can see on the screen shot to the left. To place my image I pressed the ‘Place’ button. After this my files popped up and I picked appropriate image.

Resizing my imageTo resize my main image I clicked on the image and then pressed the circle in the middle which is shown on the screenshot to the left.
I then put my cursor on the corners of my image in the small squares (shown to the left) and dragged the image into the correct position and size.

Editing my image quality
To ensure my main image wasn’t blurry to give my magazine a professional look, I edited the quality of the image. To do this I right clicked on my image and a large menu of options appeared. I then pressed on ‘Display Performance’ and ticked ‘High Quality Display’

Adding textTo add text to my front cover I had to press the ‘Type Tool’ which is found on the left tool bar. I then resized the text box, clicked on it and added my title ‘Leeds Life’

Choosing a fontWhen deciding which font I wanted to use for the title of my magazine I pressed the drop down menu and looked at all the different options before deciding on ‘Chanson Heavy SF’

Layout of my front coverI made my masthead central by pressing this central align button which is found at the top right of the programme.
I also changed my font to bold using the drop down menu found underneath the font menu.
I changed my masthead font to 96pt using the font size tool next to the font menu.

Changing my text colour
After deciding the font and size of my text I needed to change the colour. I did this by using the ‘Fill’ button at the top of the page. As I had already decided the colours I was going to use for my magazine I was able to type in the correct numbers to get my specific shade blue.
