Development of Music Magazine Cover

First I started with the main image, I removed the background and added a new turquoise - green gradient.

I first tried this font style I required from the internet(http://www.1001fonts.com) and chose the gold colour

I removed the white background from the text and added the date, issue number and price. I used the same colour as the mast head for the date etc.

I used the same font style as the mast head for my main feature article. However I added a drop shadow to make it stand out against the main image. I also added a small description in the same gold colour underneath.

I added the other articles, but I used purple and a dark red for those.

Lastly I added a banner at the bottom in blue and gold font.

I tied a different arrangement for the articles, having the non main articles on the right.

I then decided to change the colour of the mast head to purple to see if that looked better than the gold.

I then decided to not use the font from the internet, instead just used a Photoshop one. I changed the colour of the font to the same red as the articles. I also moved the main feature article to the left hand side.

I decided to see what the mast head looked like if it was not bold. I also changed the colour of the main article to blue as it stands out better than the gold.

I changed the font again for the mast head to a Broadway style as I think it better suits my cover.

I added a light blue drop shadow to my mast head to make it stand out.

Finally I changed the light blue to the same blue as the banner box. I changed the title of my main feature article to the name of the group. I rearranged my feature articles to look more like a magazine cover. Finally I changed the colour of these articles to black to reduce the amount of colour used and gave them a white drop shadow to make them stand out
