Front Cover

For my front cover I had to make a lot of different choices from what font i would use to which photos i would include on my front cover. At the end i think i made all the right choices for my music magazine front cover and i ended up quite pleased with it. The main feature of my magazine is the central image i took a lot of my lesson time editting the images so they were right for the front cover. The title of my magazine also took a lot my time up. This was because i spent a lot time lookin on the internet for a suitable font for my front cover and finally found the right one. I then had to copy the text into a new photoshop file and edit it. This was because the font was not available for free download. They are the main features of my front cover. Other features on the magazine include text above my main central image which explains why my band are in the magazine, and also coming to the end of creating my music magazine front cover I included another picture down the side with a short caption to also explain the picture. Once I had finished my music magazine front cover I noticed similarities to other music magazines such as the photos I used. They were similar because my photos all have mean looking characters on the front and this is the same as other hip-hop magazines and Rock magazines. What is different about my magazine is that i used different colours for text depending on the background colours, this is because the background i used had a lot happening in it. Other music magazines use one block colour for text and have a plain background.
