FRONT COVER DRAFT 1 (GOOGLE IMAGES)

Draft using found images off google

This is my first draft using images off Google. I've placed images and text roughly where they will go on my magazine.

At the top is the skyline, this is used to tell the audience what is going to be in the magazine. I will change the name Hayley Williams to the artist name I have chosen.

I have placed a thumbnail image at the left third and some anchorage above, this is to show a variety of artists on the front cover. At the top I have placed the magazine name 'OUTPUT' i am going to make this larger in my next draft. I have used a thick font to show it's dominance, and placed it on a black background as this makes it stand out.

I have placed my main image over the magazine name a little as this shows the artist is the most important feature on the magazine.

I have placed the date,issue number and price at the top right to be unconventional as I think squashing it with the bar-code will look too cramped.

I have also placed cover lines around my magazine but I am going to change this as they need to be in the left third as when magazines are stacked the left third is what the audience will see.

I used a teasing device at the bottom of my magazine to try draw the audience into purchasing my magazine, and could also win tickets to see a band.

I've used a house style of red, black and white to carry through my magazine. Red represents passion and control. This could signify the audience have a passion for music. White represents innocence, which could signify the innocence is being taken away by listening to indie/rock music which may have swearing etc in it. Black represents dominance and anger which could signify parts of the magazine being dominant against the others, and also the audience could be letting out their frustration by listening to music.
