The document outlines the design elements for the cover of a metal/rock magazine. It will feature a close-up image of a band member making direct eye contact. The large masthead "Destruction" will stand out using shadowed letters. The main coverline "they're back and they're louder than ever!!! Sickened Society" will anchor the image and give prominence to the band name. Additional coverlines, barcode, date, issue number, price, and footer listing interviews and tour dates will also be included following feedback. The color scheme will primarily be black, white and red to suit the genre.
1. Header “a chanceto win ___”-
usingwords like“free” make the
audiencethis that they aregetting
something special and they are
more inclined to buy the magazine.
The masthead “Destruction”- the masthead is
very largeand stands out the most on this
draft, I want to choose a font that will make
each letter stand out and I will useshadowto
make itstand out even more. The actual
word “destruction” will work great with this
magazine consideringmy genre of
rock/metal.
The main image – the main
image will beof a band
member, itwill be a closeup
so the audience can see his
expressions,itwill also fill up
the majority of the page and
will bethe main focus along
with the masthead, the model
will beusingdirectaddress by
lookingatthe camera and
involvingthe audience.
The main coverline
“they’re back and they’re
louder than ever!!!
Sickened Society”- this
will bethe largestof all
the coverlines and will
anchor the main image.
“Sickened Society” has
its own special font
because itgives their
band name importance
and makes it stand out.
Puff- the puff will be on the
righthand sideof the page
and will givean insighton
what you might find inside
the magazine, it will have
words likeexclusiveand
special to make that
particularmagazineseem
more unique.
Coverlines- the rest
of the coverlineswill
go on the leftand
rightside of the
page and will tell
the audience what
otherstorieswill be
inthe magazine.
Barcode, date, issueno
and price- these areall
important and essential
things that must feature
on the front cover of a a
magazine.
The footer- the footer will statedifferent things that will feature in
the magazine, I have used my questionnaireresults to tell me what
was popular in a magazine and the favorites were interviews, tour
dates and new albumnews.
The colour scheme- the
colour scheme will be
primarily black,whiteand
red, I have chosen the
colours red and black
because they go well with
the genre and the colour
black is the most linked
colour with rock/metal
and red will really add
some busyness to it and
make itseem more
exciting.
