Front Cover Update 2

I start my new front cover by inserting the previously edited photo which was used in the first front cover.

Next I insert the 'Ampz' title/logo at the top of the page and moved the layer under the layer with the main image to make the photo overlap the title.

After the file corruption I had decided to challenge the basic magazine conventions by making my magazine a 'Diva Edition', I did this by making an extra title and placed it on the right side of the title.

To make my 'Diva Edition' in its girly and sparkly design I used the Horizontal Type Mask Tool in Photoshop which allows me to type out the text I need but instead of creating the font it produces a selection of the shape of the text. The next step was to use the brush tool and a variety of pinks to colour the selection in. I then decided to add some sparkles to the text to make the definition of 'Diva' stand out.
Next I manipulated the original shape of the text so it now has a wave-like shape.
The paint-like brush effect behind the 'Diva Edition' helps make the sparkles that I added visible.

This is when I noticed that the black text 'LOVE!' which is included with the 'Ampz' title is now unreadable because of the black brush effect, to fix this I decided to select the section of the text which is unreadable and changed the colour to white making it stand out from the black and therefore readable.
