When creating my front cover I learned a variety of techniques, for example, I learned how to control the leading of fonts to prevent the layout of my front cover looking to messy.
I also used the elliptical marquee tool to select and add one of the secondary images. The other image was drawn around using the polygon lasso tool and then added on to my front cover.
To make the layout of my front cover more interesting, I used the shape tool to draw attention to the main sell line. I then added a stroke to the shape to make it match the sell line.
I have also layered several of the elements on my front cover to add interest and give the impression the magazine is packed full of content.
