LO3: Setting up Photoshop

When creating a new Photoshop document, this dialogue box comes up. 

To make my front cover I changed the width and height to match that of a real magazine (NME 16 April 2016).

I use this dialogue box to change the resolution to 300 ppi as this is the resolution needed for printing.

I used these rulers to outline important things for my front cover. First of all I put in the margins which are 0.56cm in to the page, just a little below the magazine I measured. (Kerrang's May 2016 issue has a 0.6cm margin).
