Construction of Front Cover

 I picked a photo from my shoot in Parbold. I chose a scenic shot of the canal as after having researched Lancashire Life, this was the most appropriate.
I edited the colour with the "colour balance" setting on adobe photoshop, followed by the "vibrance" setting to brighten my picture.




As all my photos have been taken throughout autumn, I thought it appropriate to make my magazine the "Autumn issue" and so to help me choose my colours, I found this colour palate online....

This was really helpful to decide on the colours to use for my front cover (see below)

 After choosing the best font for my title, I added simple shapes and positioned them on the page moving them around a lot before I chose to use a strip across the bottom of the page were my main cover story is going to go.
