Drafting and planning: NME creative task

To create this magazine cover, I used paint.net to create the basic layout of my cover. I used the magic wand to bring Reznor's face in front of the masthead, without any excess white bits. I then used publisher to add the cover lines and other conventions of a magazine cover and to browse through the variety of possible fonts that I could use to make it look professional. I used my research to place each convention in the best way possible and to know which conventions are generally used in all magazines. By using various software's, I am practicing how to use different tools and advancing my skills so that when I make my final product, I will be able to effectively use each software well and know which is easier and most effective to use for each part of my magazine.
