The document describes the process of designing the front cover of an indie music magazine. The designer chose a photo of the model that conveyed indie vibes. They selected a blue title font that stood out against the background-focused photo. Additional elements were added, including band names and circles to break up information on the bottom bar. Red was incorporated as requested and more band names were included to attract a wider audience. A cover line was added to describe the main photo and information about the double page spread inside.

1. Scene grabs
for my Music
magazine
front cover

2. I started off with this picture of my model that I had
asked to be on my front cover. I decided on this picture
because I thought that it connoted Indie a lot more
than the ones I had previously chosen. I decided on
having the wall for the background so that the
background wouldn’t be distracting and wouldn’t draw
the attention away from the actual model.

3. I decided on a title font and colour and I chose blue
because I thought that it would stand out the most and
make the title catch attention. I decided on this font
because I thought that it matched well with my picture
and that it looked good on the page.
Unfortunately the title was over the models head so I
had to create a picture copy and layer it over so I could
have the models head come over the title.

4. I decided to add this plus bar at the bottom of the
page in order to show the audience more
examples of what else will be in the magazine. I
have included a couple of indie bands and artists
that I know off to add variety to the bands I have
also included. I have added circles in order to
break up the information so it doesn’t seem
cramped.

5. Here I have introduction the colour red to my
front cover as it was one of the requested
colours from my questionnaire. I have also
included more band names in order to attract a
wider audience and include more variety into my
magazine.

6. I have added my main cover line to go along
with my main image to show the audience what
the picture is about. I have also included the
information for the main double page spread
that will appear in my magazine.
