 Here is my final preliminary cover 

 Following the different cat magazines I found online, I anted to go for a cat against a white coloured back groud which I achieved by using the lasso tool. I tried that but I didn't like the results thus i tried other background colours, and didn't like any one of them so I ended up using the original background  I went with with yellow and white colour scheme, but was confused whether to put in more yellow, or more white, so I tried both and went with the first one   I really wanted to add a pug and puff but couldn't decide on the colour but after trying a few of them, i ended up choosing green Since I liked the green one better I went with that At the of completing this cover, the font didn't seem playful enough for a cat magazine so i ended up changing that. This is the previous font This is the final font

 'Practice makes perfect' practicing one skill can lead one to exceptional results, similarly we are doing a preliminary task which will prepare us for our main task, for me personally it would give me an understanding of where I stand, and where do I need to improve myself.

 Every task requires planning and preparation and many times there is also inspiration behind this preparation, similarly for my preliminary task I had inspiration pictures that I'd follow I went with a tabby cat instead of a Persian, firstly because when I was researching upon this, I found more Tabby cats on the cover rather then Persian, Secondly in Pakistan Tabby cats are very common and a very little percentage of them are kept as pets because, people prefer other breeds, and this is why I went with a Tabby because I wanted to prove that even Tabby's are adorable. I also went with an outdoor lighting because I wanted people to instantly think of street cats when they see my magazine This the body language I wanted This is the breed I wanted, and the expressions. This is the picture I choose because the colours are in contrast with each other, and for my cover I wanted the to look into the camera. This was a strong contender in terms of colours and lighting and body languag
