Hi,
In this blog, I will be showing the process of creating my editorial cover and the idea behind it.
To create my Cover I used the digital software Pixlr.
As I mentioned in my previous blog posts, my inspiration for my editorial is DAZED. So, I searched how DAZED does the cover and gathered inspiration.
(For a more extensive explanation on how to use Pixlr, I would definitely recommend you to check my previous blog posts.)
Creating my cover with Pixlr
I started by choosing a template and then chose the option ''add'' and then clicked on ''image''.
///
I uploaded a strong blue picture to use as the background, when I looked at the DAZED covers I saw that they mainly used blank or colourful strong backgrounds. So, that is what I decided to do.
///
Then as I mentioned in my previous blog posts about my research, I said that I wanted to use celebrities to capture more attention from my target audience, in this case, its Bella Hadid wearing a corset. So, I once again uploaded an image by using ''Add" and click on "image".
///
I started to cut out the image by clicking on the scissor option and choosing Mode>Remove.
///
I tried to use all the tools to make the image as smooth as possible.
///
Once the picture was cut out I decided to add the headline which is my editorials name "CALAMITY". By clicking on Add>Text.
///
Then I changed the size and font as wished, I also mentioned this in my previous blog post on how I got inspired by DAZED to use a big and clear font for my cover's name.
///
Once it looked like this I decided to add some simple texts, to make it clear to the audience what to expect from this editorial.
///
With the text, I tried to capture the audience's attention by using the words Trend and stylish. And make them believe that they really should read it because it is made for them.
///
To give them an idea of what to expect from this editorial, I added a little text by mentioning the corsets.
///
FINAL RESULT
COVER
I personally loved the outcome of the cover because of how simple yet powerful it is.

Good that you have detailed [process here however I am completely unsure as to why you would title a magazine 'calamity' which means a kind of disaster - its like naming it Titanic - it does not bode well - I would reconsider
