Creating a puff for my front cover

I want to add a puff so that it will draw the reader into wanting to read the magazine. From feedback from my peers about what content I should use in my magazine, some of them said they would like to find a competition that they could enter in the magazine. So I am going to make a puff based around that. I used fireworks to create this puff:

First of all I created a star to use for my puff outline


    This is what it looked like, I liked the red font as it stood out which would draw the reader in.



I then added black lines around the edge of the star to enhance it on the page
