Final Touch's:

The final things I have added to my magazine in an effort to make it look as professional as possible I have decided to look for a specific font that would enable me to include the name of the magazine in it.

The first font I looked at was called "EANBWRP366TTF":

What I liked about this bar code font was that it actually looked like a bar code. However there is a slight blur to this font that makes it look out of focus therefore I have decided against this font. Also I don't really like how the seven has just been randomly placed.

The next font I have looked at is called "Barmkod- Inverse":

One of the things I find particularly interesting about this font is how dramatic the overall effect is; visually. However the whole point of this font is to make it look like an actual barcode. Therefore I have decided against this font

The final font I have looked at is called "barcode":

I have finally decided to use this as my bar code font. What I really like about this particular font is how it is able to look like an actual barcode whilst also incorporating the series name into the code number.

The final change I have made is to use the text tool to add the words "The Magazine" to my cover as I wanted my audience to clearly distinguish the fact that my magazine belongs to the series and is not merely advertising the series. However I have discovered that in order for my text to show up I need to add a colourful stroke around it. To do this I will simply use the storke effect and just like with the feature picture I shall increase the size to 10.
