2. I was not 100 per cent
sure which image I wanted
to use for my front cover
do I used a black
background until I was
sure. I started off with my
logo as I thought this was
a good place to start.
3. After I decided which cover
lines etc. I wanted to use on
my magazine I added them
to my front cover. I used
different font sizes for
different parts having the
most important information
in the biggest font, making
them very eye-catching.
After looking at one of Q
magazines I saw they used
red lines to separate things
on their front cover. I
thought this was a good
convention so used their
idea but changed it slightly
for my magazine.
4. I thought my page was
looking quite plank so I
thought I would add
something on the right
hand side. This gave extra
information to pull my
audience in. And I decided
to use a flash, making it
stand out even more.
5. I thought my front cover was
still looking quite bare so I
decided to add a cover line
and pull quote. I decided to
put ‘Lucy Morris’ is red to
make the page really pop.
And it really draws you in.
The pull quote is used to
give the my audience a hint
of what's inside. The reason
I put it below the cover line
is because your eyes are
drawn to the cover line and
you would read this after.
6. After I put the image in I
thought my front cover
really came together and
looks very effective. The
reason for my image to be in
red is because I thought it
made the writing really
stand out. One of NME’s
front covers had the writing
in black and white and the
image very bright. I decided
to do mine the other way
around and I think this really
works.
