Using Adobe Illustrator

I used illustrator to design this practice masthead. The screenshot above is my progress. After editing the way the text looks, I then got a texture to merge with the text. I learned about some of the tools and features such as using the clipping mask which is what merges the texture with the text.

Above is my finished masthead. This was only  practice as it was my first time using Illustrator and I hope to improve it for my future magazine.
