First, watch this video and learn about the text formatting options in Pixlr E.
Then, you will create your own text with effects as you will create a sports magazine cover.
The next step is creating absolutely new project with text effects - a magazine cover.
That will be a made-up sports magazine. Do some research to get an idea of what is usually included in the magazine cover design.
The magazine cover should be the proper size (see Step 1).
The magazine cover should include at least 5 (five) elements of the cover design: masthead, dateline, main image, lead article, and any other element of your choice (e.g., barcode, website link, flash, etc.). See the elements of the magazine cover design on the chart below.
Design hierarchy and readability, proper work with layers.
Text formatting: choose various fonts and text effects.
Good work ethics and appropriate use of images is expected.
The work should be submitted via e-mail.
Open a new file in PIXLR E: size Portrait 8x10 in. Find an image for your magazine cover.
Then, using a TEXT tool, start creating new text blocks. Note that each text block will appear on a new layer.
