The document describes the progress made on designing the front cover of a magazine. The creator resized the main image to fit the cover, added a masthead that featured the magazine's name "Acoustic" in front of the model's head. A bolder font with a colored shadow was used for the masthead to make it more visible. A pink font was chosen for the main heading to emphasize the artist and follow the color scheme, and a feminine font from DaFont was selected for the artist's name to relate it to the acoustic theme.

1. Front Cover Progress

2. To start with, I had to make my image
the correct size to make sure it fitted and
took up the space of the magazine’s front
cover.
Here, I made my masthead; I decided to
have the name Acoustic as that is the
style of music my magazine focuses on. I
wanted the masthead in front of my
model’s head as it wouldn’t be very
visible otherwise. Moreover, I wanted it
to be bolder so I put a different coloured
shadow behind it.

3. I had now begun to make my main
heading which relates to the main image.
I chose to have it in a pink as it
emphasises the artist and also follows
the colour scheme of the front cover.
The font I decided needed to be more fun
and relate more to my image as the
previous font was very straight forward
and the same as the text on the rest of
the page. I chose this font from DaFont
as it is quite feminine and emphasises
‘acoustic’ as being original and unique.
The informative text before the main
heading is the same as the rest of the
cover’s text to make the artist’s name
stand out more. Also, I decided to have
‘exclusive’ in a cloud shape as if it had
been stamped which shows that it is a
feature and something worth reading.
