Making my first draft

Adding the masthead

First I had to make sure to get rid of the white in the background of the masthead before putting it onto my image. This is because I downloaded a font onto Word, write the masthead, and then screen shot it. 

Once I had finished making the background of my masthead transparent, I added it into my main cover image by dragging it over. 

Adding a rectangle

First I added a rectangle using the rectangle tool. This made a plain coloured box (you can change the colour of it) which I could move around the image. 

Then I changed the opacity of the rectangle. This allowed for you to slightly see the image through the rectangle so you don't have a really strong difference between the main image and the rectangle.
