Hi!
Our next task is design a front cover for magazine. Without any knowledge of graphic and design, it is very hard to do with our own. Seriously! (wa x tipu lu..) So that, i think it's good for me to share some knowledge that classmate and i learned from our Sir Khairuddin. 


Magazine is a periodical that usuall contains a miscellaneous of articles, stories, poems and stories.  There are 7 elements in order to make a cover magazine. Let's check it out!!

       before the cover date.

       comes in 3 layers.
    > each with a different color.
6.   COVER LINE
