Collage Magazine Cover!

I created a very basic collage magazine called "THE HEENAN LIFE" to try improve my photoshop skills. First I started with a starter layer named 'Background'. I changed the plain starter white layer background to brown.

Next I added a new layer for text. I drew out the text box and wrote "THE HEENAN LIFE". Then moved it towards the top. I glanced at the straight title and immediately thought that with nothing else it was plain. I Clicked free transform and and slanted the text box to get a leaning effect. I was happy with this change.

I created a circle and changed it to purple. Then added a text box and typed in "Teams to join, Areas to study, Places to relax" in yellow writing so it would stand out over the purple background circle. I tilted the writing so it was different to the bottom of the magazine. Next in a larger size of text I wrote "PLUS" in yellow so again it stood out over the purple. I created a "+" in red and made it a little bit bigger than the "PLUS" writing so it would stand out but instead changed it to red.

After this I inserted the main image which was of Tom Whittaker on the Apple Mac doing work. I simple square picture was not appealing so i drew a dircle around it, clicked select inverse and then deleted Tom's surroundings. Then I placed Tom and his work in the centre of the magazine.

Next, the same thing I done with the purple circle I done again but instead made a rectangle. I drew a text box over the purple rectangle and wrote what the magazine includes inside. I changed the font to Pink so it was a little bit different over the purple backing.
