First Draft Front Cover and Focus Group

This is the first draft of Shuffle. It is very similar to my flat plan, I wanted to keep everything what I planed. So the main image of a male place on the middle of the page and he is wearing a big coat and sunglasses to make it look more as a pop music magazine.The background is black with big blue flames behind the main image to make it more eye catching. The masthead is presented in large and white fonts on the dark background so it is very eye catching and bold for the readers and they can clearly see it is a music magazine. The cover lines also presented in white but with different fonts to be less bold but still eye catching on the dark background and they are placed around the main image. The numbers and the ,exclusive, are presented in yellow and also with thicker fonts to make the front cover more conspicuous and interesting. I have added a banner  at the bottom of the front page, and it is presented in white and the bar code is placed in the bottom left corner. 

 

Flat plan of front cover - music magazine

This is the flat plan for my front cover of a music magazine. The main image will be of a male standing slightly to the right but still looking directly into the camera. The genre of this music magazine will be pop and alternative rock, so to show this he will wear a big,black coat and sunglasses. I have chosen to place my masthead in the middle of the top of the page, and it's will be white to be bold on the dark background. The cover lines will be placed around the main images, and they also will be white but different font. I have added a banner at the bottom of the page, which will include extra gifts, and the barcode and the price also in the bottom right hand corner of the page.
