After learning the basics of using PhotoShop CS4, we were assigned a task to create the cover of a nature magazine to prove that we could use PhotoShop effectively. I got an image of some mountains with coloured skies and clouds. I used the magnet trimming tool to go along the top of the mountains and down the side of them to give the effect of the sky running all the way up the page. I then input the magazine title at the top in a suitable font, then used the colour picking tool to choose a darkish green colour of the grass and moss to link the image with the title. I moved the word below the other one and linked the 2 M's so it became some sort of logo that could be used. Then by holding the shift key and clicking on the 2 words representations in the bottom right hand corner i can move the 2 words around simultaneously so the 2 M's dont become undone and have to re-organise them together. The blank space could be used to create advertisements for what will be read in the magazine, or just any aditional information the reader needs or could find useful!
