The document describes the process of designing the front cover of a Hi-Hop magazine. Key details include: - Choosing a shot of Mia that looks engaging for the main cover image. - Adding the magazine logo and first feature article, adjusting fonts and colors based on feedback. - Placing subsequent feature articles in different areas of the cover for visual interest and to guide the reader's eye. - Including additional elements like a sell line, price, and contest to attract the target audience and increase sales.

1. I went through all the
shots I had taken of
Mia and chose the one
which looked the best
on my front cover. I
chose this shot
because she looks
slightly serious and has
direct eye contact
which engages the
audience.

2. Here I have added the
logo of my Hi-Hop
magazine and made
sure that it fits on the
page right. I have also
added my first
feature, this feature
was originally in a
lighter font and colour
however after
consulting with a
couple of people in
my class and my
teacher I decided it
look better like this.

3. Next I have added the
next feature in the
magazine to the left
third of the page as
this is where the
readers eye first looks
when they see the
magazine. I chose to
change the colour and
the font so that there
would be some
contrast on the page.
The main headline
links to my main
image of Mia.

4. Here I have added the sell line at the top of the page which attracts my
target audience. I have also added a price line and a bar

5. Next I added a puff
which reads “Win
Beyonce Tickets”
This gives my target
audience another
reason to buy the
magazine which will
increase sales. I
chose Beyonce
because she is an
artist associated with
my target audience.
I have also added
the next feature onto
the left third.

6. Finally I have added
the last two features
of the
magazine, one in
the left third and the
other on the right
side of the page. I
chose artist that
were associated
with the Hip-Hop
genre so that this
would engage my
target audience.
