This could go on indefinitely! Imported the recycling .gif into CS4, used the magic wand to select the white, deleted it then saved as a .png in order to preserve transparency. Googled for some design tips and stumbled across MagForum so beginning to develop an awareness of design. Still struggling with the white text as it loses clarity where it crosses the skin and grey background... have experimented with alternative colour schemes but keep reverting to black, red, white. Downloaded a few more fonts from MadTuts and had a play with the Masthead. Liking this one better and have added a selling line 'The UK's Best Selling Ethical Fashion Magazine'. Still more tweaking to be done but really need to start considering the editorial and double-page spread... more pictures to take as well!Thursday 17 February 2011
