Construc)on of magazine front cover:
When first star+ng the construc+on for my magazine, I have created the mast-‐head on DaFont. I opened it in Photo-‐shop and now I am using the fill tool to change the colour of the text to suit my genre. Also, I’ve included a white out-‐line and a drop shadow of black to make it stand out more, as these are 2 colours that my target audience said they expected to see in a music maga-‐zine.
I then added an image to my front cov-‐er which showed the ar+st who will feature in my double page spread through a mid shot.
Once I had the posi+oning of my main image and masthead, I added in the barcode, the issue number, the price of my magazine and a cover mount which runs across the boHom of the page.
The first cover line is discussing music reviews, which is what the target audi-‐ence of my magazine said they like to see in a magazine so I thought this would be a good thing to include on my front cover so that it is more likely to aHract readers. In this screenshot, it can can also be seen that I have decid-‐ed to place the date and the magazine’s website underneath the masthead. I changed the posi+oning of this as I felt that it was too crowded in the boHom right hand corner of the page.
The main cover line has now been added to my front cover. I have decided to change the posi+oning of the main cover line, so it would not cover the sub-‐ject of my image.
Here I decided to include a list of ar+sts that are going to be in my magazine to aHract the target audience, as they are likely to know most of these popular ar+sts.
As there was some empty space on the front cover, I decided to add in a puff that fits in with the genre of the maga-‐zine and in a style that fits into the colour scheme.
