Once I had decided on the font type I needed to edit it on Photoshop, to give it the perfect look for the front cover of my magazine.
In Order to create this 'Perfect' look I had to go through various stages of editing.
These are the steps that I took to create the final piece:
This is a print screen of the heading without alteration. The font used is called "28 Days Later", the effect of the font is quite interesting to look at and compliments the name of the title with the unfinished look. However, looking at it without any editing, it does not seem to have a prominent affect that looks professional.
This is a print screen of the Heading with a Drop Shadow. The drop shadow makes the font clear and clearly appears above the surface of the background. I feel that the use of a drop shadow make the text look more professional.
This print screen includes the font with a Drop Shadow and another editing affect called, Stoke. The use of Stoke outlines the text making it clear and easy to read. The colour of the stroke is black as this colour clearly defines the letters. I have also increased the width of the Stroke so that it is easily visible.
This final print screen is of the Heading with the effect of, Drop Shadow, Stroke and Inner Glow.
Inner Glow is an effect feature on Photoshop that adds a light, glowing colour to the inside edges of the letters. I feel that this effect makes the text brighter and therefore more appealing.
I am very pleased with the overall effect of the heading and feel that the final product fits the purpose. It looks professional, and has an edgy current appearance that is 'Perfect' for my magazine!
