Front Cover Draft
Here is my front page for The Vinyl. After looking over my research, I have found that Mixmag magazine puts their logo at the top of the page with a large picture and I have taken this idea on board and put it to use on my own magazine because I believe that it draws attention to the magazine, especially if your picture is bright. I have used my bright green and black house style for all the text and featured the gradient tool on all my text boxes to make sure the two colours are always contrasting. I also used google to find a lime green barcode which fits in with my housestyle. I have used my image of Swedish House Mafia at Milton Keynes Bowl as the front cover image but I have said that it is from Miami as the general feel of this issue of my magazine is Miami Music Week, as SHM played their last ever show there. I believe the fact that my picture has contrasting colours, it works well with my colour scheme and stands out which is good as I want to attract the reader as much as possible. I will keep the same text throughout also like i have done on my front page, and this being Tahoma, as I believe that it works well with the colours and looks professional. This post has been labeled with 'FrontPage' to make it easier to find.

Mixmag tends to have an artist on the cover so this doesn't look too much like a Mixmag style mag! It just seems you haven't made an effort in putting together a photoshoot.
ReplyDeleteI suggest redoing the masthead in Photoshop as it looks very amateurish and you can't use pics like the record just from the net.
Your use of coverlines shows no link to your research.
One font is used throughout and this is all in capitals.
No price is visible.

ReplyDeleteHere is the cover for a dance magazine that is similar to what you've come up with. Have a look at the format - it is clear and structured.
