2. Title
I used the font ‘Optimus
Princeps’ from ‘da font’ to
create a simple title which
matches the masthead of the
magazine. I then added a line
underneath to finish it off and
match the masthead.
I then added a drop shadow so
it again matched the front cover
and make it stand out a lot
more.

3. Page Number
I created a plain box and angled it to the corner
with an outer glow to make it stand out a lot
more.
I then used a font called ‘Coolvetica’ from da font
to create the page number for the contents and
further pages in the magazine as it stands out and
matches the front cover fonts.

4. Titles
I created rectangles like the page number box and moved them to a slight angle, I
then added an out glow to create an outline and make the titles stand out more.
I then added titles with the font ‘Coolvetica’ from Da font as it matches the front
cover and stand out well.

then added the image in.
