Step 1-Magazine Cover Page Layout

• Firstly, adjust the page layout. Click "Page Layout" on the top menu.
• Then we need to set up our margins. Click "Margins" on the sub-menu.
• On the very bottom of the sub-menu, click "Custom Margins".
• Now just set the "top, bottom, right and left" margins to "0".

 

Step 2-Adding Attractive Texts as the Magazine Title

• Click "Insert" on the top menu.
• You can either click "Wordart" on the sub-menu to add a title or you can use a font website online
• Once you have inserted the title, move it to where you want it to be.
• With Wordart you can add effects to it, select the title and click "Text Effects" under the "Wordart Styles" sub-menu.
• A new menu will appear and you'll be able to see the effects for your title. Just click one of the options and add a good-looking effect to your title according your wish.

 
 

 

Step 3-Adding Text

Now you should add some text to the magazine cover.

In the text you should say what the magazine is about and also have bold sub-titles for the things that the magazine talks about the most, to make it stand out. The colour of the text and sub-titles should be colours that will stand out and fit best with who the target audience of the magazine is.

Just like when you added the title, you can either use Wordart or a website for fonts, and change the colour and add effects like for the title of the magazine.

 

You can add a text box to write in by clicking “insert” at the top and then click on text box, you can then choose the type of text box you would like.

Once you have done that and added text you can edit the text box and remove the outline and box fill by selecting the text box and clicking on ‘format’. From there you can edit, by going on ‘shape outline’ or ‘shape fill’ you can choose the colour, but you can also get rid of it by selecting ‘no fill’ or ‘no outline’

Step 4-Adding Photos or Pictures to Your Magazine Cover

First you need to collect or take the photo(s) you will be using for the magazine cover.

• Click "Insert" on the top menu.
• Then click "Insert Picture from File" on the sub-menu.
• Choose the photo which you want it to be on your cover.
• If you want to make it your background photo, you must set it behind your texts. Otherwise it will cover all of the page and your text won't be visible anymore.
• In order to move it behind your text, right-click on the photo. Then click "Wrap Text" and then click "Behind Text".
• Now you can see it as a background and your texts are visible again.
• And to add photos to go at the front and next to the text you do exactly the same, except don’t select the ‘behind text’ option.
