When you create YOUR magazine cover, your new file should be 16x20.
When you need to mess with the specifics of your font (height, width, closeness of the lines), highlight your text using the text tool and go to:
window>character...and the box will pop up with all the tools you need.
When you are working on your cover, make sure the font matches as closely as possible. I'm talking INSANE DETAIL. Also, make sure the details of the model are INSANELY SIMILAR to the details of the original cover. Some of this can be enhanced in PHOTOSHOP.
Your FIVE images are DUE at the beginning of class on WEDNESDAY, December 5th.
When you go to post your final version by the end of class THURSDAY, December 6th, make sure you have completed the following:
1. Top bar has related images
2. You post it on the CoverGirl/Boy page.
3. You have the original cover and your version in a 2 column layout. Make sure BOTH images are big. I will not be grading your work if I cannot see the details.
4. Label BOTH images.
Extra Credit: List the fonts you used.
