Prelim Task experiment with photoshop

Photoshop experiments

My initial thoughts on using photoshop aren't too bad. I've used photoshop before so I didn't find it too hard to use. I wanted to make my masthead unique and for someone to know I had made it but adding a quirk to it. I did this by tilting the 'The' sideways. I really liked the way it turned out because it looked slightly professional.
I really wanted to have a well-polished masthead, something that would go well with a college magazine. Something fun but not over the top and something classy but not to mature as I didn't want to put readers off.
This was the first font I used for my masthead but I didn't like it because I  think that people may have some trouble reading it. I just wanted something easy going and polished.
I found out what this was by experimenting with different things to try and make my masthead standout. In the end I used the drop shadow option because it seemed to give some sort of depth towards my masthead. It made it look 3 dimensional.


This is the final version of my masthead.
