Front Cover

I have improved my front cover here. I think that it looks a lot better as it fits more into a music magazine genre with the range of different fonts and the use of colours.
This was my first computer draft of the final front cover. Looking at it, I feel that it looks a little bit bare and the colour of the writing down the left hand side could be brighter so that they stand out a lot more.

Mock Up Front Cover

This is a mock up of my front cover. I hand drew out how I wanted it to look like and then photographed it so I was able to show this on my blog. I have sketched the choosen image onto the paper and added the title. Part of the title will be hidden by the models head, which I will use a tool on Photoshop to enable me to do this. My main headline will be "Eloie" as this is the name of the artist. Other headlines and storylines will surround the main image and at the bottom right hand corner I have placed a barcode with the price above it. I have set it out this way as I feel it could come to look like a music magazine once I have added all of the straplines, colours and edited my photo.

Final Front Cover Image

This is the image I have chosen to use. I feel that once I have adjusted the colour, and editted the model, it will be very eye catchy and will be the main USP (unique selling point) of my magazine. I wanted the image to be the first thing that anyone will see so that it will make them want to read the article that I will also be creating.
