Development of my front cover

For my magazine front cover I have included my logo on the top left hand corner. I overlapped the model so that her head was in front of the logo a bit, I simply moved up the layer of the model and put it above the layer of my magazine logo. I have also included the artists name on to my magazine. I have used the same technique I used to layer the model above my logo for the artists name. I added a dropshadow on the font so that it would stand out more on the white background. I have also included the cover story of the magazine just underneath the artists name. I have also added a dropshadow onto the font to make the writing stand out more.

I have added the first feature story inside the magazine. I have made the title of it red to match the genre of my magazine, and I have put a brief story underneath the title in a different font and made it black to stand out.



















I have started to included a shape for one of my feature stories, in my front cover analysis I have noticed that the magazines use shapes on their front covers, to make a certain feature story stand out. I have used two different fonts and colours for this to also match the genre. I have layered the model in front of it to make the model stand out more.


















I have added two more feature stories on the front cover of the magazine as usually magazines include three feature stories as well as the cover story on the front cover. I have also includes an additional feature, including artists that will be inside the magazine but I haven't included a sample of the actual article like I did for the other feature stories. I layered the model a bit over this feature story to clarify that the model is the main feature of this front cover.















Lastly I have included the barcode on the bottom right hand corner of the magazine and included the date of the issue and how much it costs. I have used the same price as NME magazine for my own magazine to make it more professional and realistic.
