The only thing I have changed on my front cover is the size of the sell lines so that they are all the same size. It wasn't very noticeable on the previous draft but I changed the size anyway.
On my DPS, I have removed the header away from the black box, added a large stroke and gave it a drop shadow. I have put the same effects on the kicker and have put the kicker at an angle so that it matches the header. I did the same with part of the opening paragraph which is now below the header, the colour of the text and the stroke is swapped around.
I made the drop cap a lot larger and I changed the colour of it as well as the font so that it is clear where to start reading.
Using the line tool, I created two lines that separate the article columns. These are in pink which matches with the colour scheme. I realised how random the previous colour selection for the quote inserts were, so I changed them from green to pink. Like the header, these are pink with a white stroke and a drop shadow.
In photoshop, I used the brush tool to make the heart shapes in the background. I downloaded the fonts from brusheezy.com and loaded them into photoshop. I reduced the opacity and saved them and when i went into InDesign I placed them into my project and made the hearts go to the back of all of the layers.
Also using photoshop, I improved the pictures that are in the breakout box. I used the shape tool to create the squares behind the icons and I added texture to them so they didn't look as flat.
