At this stage I thought doing the background first was a good idea so I selected the gradient tool from the left hand side toolbar and then went to the top of the page and selected the colours in which I wanted to use. At this stage I wanted it to look as though light was shining from behind the characters to suggest romance. I then added all the text in which I needed on the page.
I then went on to change the colour of each part of the font so that it fit well with the background and stand out off the image. This was quite a simple stage as then all I would need to do is change the font of the masthead at a later stage once finding out about audience feedback.
These two stages show that I went to the top of the page and added a star shaped banner in which I thought would go with the image and the font. The reason in which I used a banner was because it was on the magazines I had looked at that represent a similar genre. I then went on to change the colour of the banner to red using a colour overlay but I then later added a stroke so that it stood out more.
I then placed the image on the page to see how everything would look at this stage and I was fairly happy that nothing needed editing as the text all fit well and stood out off the image like I had intended.
