This is the final front cover of my magazine!!!

1. i took a photo of Daniel playing the saxophone and used the lasso tool to crop around him and plot him onto a plain copper coloured background which i got from google.
2. and then i added photos which i took of the new year 7's while in performing arts. i blurred each photo by using 'opacity' and that was the background completed. i had to bring the photo of Daniel to the front so he was centre of attention. 
3. i then used the type tool to add my heading. the font is in black, and its faded with opacity just like the rest of the background. 
4. i also added the schools slogan which is 'life in all it's fullness'. this is also written in black Ariel font.
5. and then i just flattened the layers together to form one photo so it would allow me to upload to my blog.
