Construction of my front cover

Construction of My Front Cover

By Natalie Bennett

What I did firstI went on a website called Dafont.com where I downloaded this font.

I was happy with this font as it related to the genre that I chose.

Masthead

I decided to name my magazine ‘Turntablez’ because it related to the genre as this is one type of equipment they used.

For example, this equipment is used majorly at clubs and at parties.

The Programmes that I used was InDesign and Photoshop.

Photoshop was used to manipulate and make photos clearer.

InDesign was used for making the magazine. This included columns made, images put in for the front cover, contents and double page spreads and text.

When I wrote up my coverlines, masthead and the article on my double page spread, I used this.

This is my main coverline which was the used for the double page spread.

Colour of TextWhen choosing the colours for text on the cover page, I decided to go with red, black and orange.

From the research I found, they did this and I thought it was really interesting and imaginative.

The tools I used was making swatches and strokes, to make the outline of the text stand out and also more defined.

Coverlines

These were put down on my magazine cover and I think it really works as they are to do with the genre of music I have chosen and also may interest my target audience.

Why I decided on these Coverlines

The main coverline was a definite. I decided to do this one because music is about new artists going into that industry. I also made it an interview so that you were able to hear 1st hand a person who was going into that industry and how it really is and how it works.

The other coverlines that I decided on I thought was also interesting and can relate to my target audience and they also sound interesting.

ImageI think that this image that I have chosen is alright as it shows the equipment that is used when making Dubstep music.

I’m very happy with this image and hopefully it conveys the message to my target audience.

Why I decided on this image

I thought this image worked as it conveys the message of the genre and also a another piece of equipment is shown that this genre acquires, which are the computers.

Although the model in the image is not looking at the camera, she is still important to it as it shows her working on it and illustrating the idea of Dubstep.

Finished ProductThe past few weeks I have made my Front cover which is shown on the left.

I’m happy with the end product because I think that it conveys the genre I picked and I also like the coverlines that go along with it and hopefully puts my message across to my audience.

Thank You For Reading!!!!

Hopefully it helps!!!
