Cover third draft


This is the third draft of my cover. I've changed the roundel to some more information on one of the other features in my magazine, as I feel this will be more useful to the audience. I made sure the box I added fit with the house style of the magazine, but still stood out. I will try to edit the image more to make it look more professional.

Cover second draft


This is the second draft of my cover, I've made some changes to the layout first of all adding banners featuring prominent artists names in order to attract attention to the cover, as customers may see an artist they like and buy the magazine to read about them. I've also added a roundel to the left hand side which will help serve the same purpose as the banners, however I may change it as it doesn't really fit with the darker colours of the rest of the cover.

Cover first draft

This is the first draft of my magazine. I tried to establish a house style, consisting of the colours red, white and black, which I will aim to maintain throughout the magazine as this will help distinguish it from other music magazines. I used the website http://www.1001fonts.com/ to find the custom fonts for my tagline and for the quote I used for my article, as I thought these fonts were of better quality than the ones available in Photoshop and made my cover look more professional. The next step will be to finish putting in the barcode and find something to put on the left hand side of the cover.
