my final front cover

1. Step by Step of My Music
Magazine Front Cover
Spread

2. First I have made my background for my front cover, however after some
editing the background became darker

3. These filters were what I used to edit the
background and make it darker

4. This is the photo that I used for my main image. The clothes that my model
is wearing present the indie/rock genre and she is wearing a neautral
expression to also help with presenting the genre. The image is big and
takes up a large proportion of the page so that it is eyecatching to the
audience.

5. When editing my main image it also made the
background go darker which I actually liked

6. Here is my masthead and how I edited it...

7. I then included a postioning statement which offers the audience some brief
information about the magagine. It is also a statement that seperates my
magazine from other magazines.

8. I then included a buzz word that grabs the audience attention so that they can
see what they can win and also to allow me to follow the codes and conventions

11. I have no added a main headline and subheading to attract the audience attention.
I did this by using the text tool and editing the outer glow.

12. I then needed to add a barcode to make my magazine seem more realistic

13. I have now added the price of my magazine which is £5 as it will be
distributed monthly. I also included issue 1 and the date of distribution

14. I also added the website for my magazine and positioned below the barcode

16. Here is my final front cover. I believe that I have used the codes and
conventions of a magazine front cover correctly and the overall look is
professional and clean. I have taken into consideration what is featured
on professional magzine front covers and have incorporated those
features into my own product. I have used the colour scheme of
Black,Red and White and have used a big main image that is eye
catching. The subheadings are also short and eye cactching enough
allowing the audience to gain some information about what will be
featured in the magazine.
