2. This is the start to my music magazine front cover. I used original photography
of my friend and I think that the image is very strong. I’ve put the masthead and
selling line at the top on a black background so that it is more prominent
however I am not sure if I will stay with the red colour theme as it’s a common
feature in music magazines and I want something to stand out from my
magazine to catch the readers eyes.
3. Here I’ve moved the image slightly to the right, I feel that it doesn’t make the
image any less strong and I have also changed the colour of the masthead and
selling line to blue. I did this because I think the blue still fits in with the
magazine type, the words still stand out clearly and I think it could be what
makes the magazine different from others.
4. Here I have started to add in headers on the left third. I have been
experimenting with fonts and colours and seeing what works well with the
picture and the masthead colour. I think that the colours I’ve used to far work
really well on the magazine cover.
5. This is a mock up of the final cover. I am still working with the fonts for the
masthead and the main header but I am satisfied with the colours I have used. I
have also included a price and a barcode to make it seem like a real magazine.
