THE PROCESS OF MAKING MY FRONT

COVER.

As I was still unsure about

which picture to use, Initially I

decided to use a black

background so it would look

slightly more realistic as I

added the text on.

I added the masthead

first, as I was completely

sure this was the text I

wanted to use. And by

doing this I would be able

to ensure the rest of the

fonts and colours I use

would fit the theme

correctly.

2Following my mock up

design, I added the key

features I believed were

going to be important

aspects of the magazine.

I added the yellow star as people

automatically associate it with a

prize. Which was what was on offer.

By making it bright, I wanted it to

attract the eye, so they would see

the competition and take an interest

in the magazine.

I thought by placing

the slogan at the

bottom it would

make it different to

other magazines,

and would make the

layout more

interesting.

As I hadn’t already decided on the

text that was going to be used, I

added the boxes as a guide to help

me visually when I was adding

things such as pictures.

3.After being informed that the

slogan would look better, and

more professional closer to

the masthead, I decided to

move it back.I changed the colour and

shape of the star, as I

thought it may have been

too bright, and made the

page look less

professional.

I included a list of artists

name so consumers know

who else will be included

inside. By doing this it also

means it can be done in a

short, simple form, and

wont over clutter the page.

By adding the flash

word ‘EXCLUSIVE’

it will automatically

capture the eye

and entice people.

I chose this pull quote,

as I wanted it to

portray that the artist

is successful, and has

determination.

4.

I moved the slogan to

under the masthead, as

it looked better, and

went together better

that way round.

I had now chosen the

picture I wanted to use

for the front cover,

and settled on one

with a black

background, so it gave

me more options to

add pictures, colour

and font.

It was suggested

I changed the

background of

the writing to a

circle, to make it

look more

professional

through

simplicity.

I was also informed

that it was better to

keep pull quotes

short, so they look

neater on the page,

and so decided to

change from the

one I had originally

picked.

I had also

included the

artists name and

got rid of the

flash

‘EXCLUSIVE’

5I then made

changes to the

font colours,

ensuring I kept to

the black, red,

blue and white

theme.

A barcode was

added, to make it

look more realistic

and professional.

I also included a

website, to

enhance how

realistic it looks,

and interest the

reader into going

on to it.

I added the plus sign, so

the audience know what

else the magazine is

going to cover, without

having to open it.
