The front cover started off with this background image.

The image was then cropped to better fit the characters and the background altered to a more homogeneous colour.

The Masthead was added

An underline was added to the Masthead to accentuate it's appearance

A barcode, price and issue number were added

I then added cover lines

To fill in the space at the bottom I added in a decorative blue bar

And filled in the blue bar with unique cover lines
