Front Cover Improved

This is my improved front cover, final draft. There wasn't much i had to edit from my first draft apart from adding a dateline, issue number and price which i instered to the left of the barcode. I decided to insert them there because this is typical of a magazine to have that information with the barcode.

First Draft Magazine Front Cover

This is my first draft for my music magazine. As you can see, i have stuck to my improvement mock up which helped a lot when creating the front cover. I decided on a dark blue, white and grey colour scheme as they are the three main colours which dominate the image.

The aspects that i like about my music magazine is that his eyes look as if he is reading the cover lines. I have chosen simple bold sans serif fonts for my masthead and main kicker so they are the two things that stand out the most on the page, followed by the cover lines.

One aspect which i have missed out on my front cover is a dateline, issue number and price which i will have to edit in.

After analysing a few more magazine front covers and trying to create my actual magazine front cover I have realised that I need to change a few things on my front cover around to make it fit around the main image.

I moved the main kicker down to hide the fact that I cloned out the cigarette and the fingers looked slightly skewed. I have also decided to make the cover lines follow down with the shape of his arm to make it look more interesting and also so they do not cover the models' arm. Thridly, my masthead is going to be DnB but with the 'D' flipped. this is a short masthead so it will be more appealing on the left hand corner. I have also decided to put the masthead there to blanace out the writing on the front cover.
