I tried very hard to avoid using more than two fonts because I found out that using more that two may cause my magazine cover to look disorganised (I found this out during my prilimarytask; the making of my student magazine)

I tried placing images on top of texts, I decided to do this because I notices some professional music magazines such as “Q” and “Billboard did so too.

Text has been placed behind the main image, giving more focus on the musician or artist.

Tried being a bit more creative, and added some animation. To emphasis on the sound coming out if the stereo. However, I later deleted them because I thought they were too “tacky”

Added the issue number and magazine price.

Included my barcode

While structuring my front page, I contemplated on placing two similar Images on the cover; rather than one. But decided to merge them together, so the image seemed more 3D rather 2D

Images merged together did create a 3D effect as the one on the left; seems stand out of the rest of the front cover unlike the one below

Here, I coloured my two strap lines

Although I ended up colouring my strapline green, I contemplated between colouring it either green or yellow.

Next, I coloured my main cover line; which was placed at the top of my front cover, to ensure my secondary audience are aware that some of the biggest funk names are featured in this issue. Subsequently persuading them to buy it.
