Riff Raff Take 4


Once I had fixed the background I noticed that I was missing the price and the date of the issue that normally accompanies the barcode in most conventional music magazines. I also noticed that the positioning of the featured artists cover line was too near and encroaching on the main cover line. The definition between the two therefore was rendered too unclear.
To fix the positionig problem i simply used the 'MOVE TOOL' and moved the 'Featured artists' more down the page.
To fix the problem involving the barcode i needed to add a white rectangle extension to the barcode so that i could write the missing text. To do this i first created a 'NEW LAYER' .Then i used the 'CUSTOM SHAPE TOOL' to make a rectangular shape directly above the barcode so it is touching. After I used the 'Paint Bucket tool' to fill the rectangle white.
Finally i used the 'Horizontal Type tool' to enter the date of the issue and the price in the white box.
