Page 1: Analysis of front cover

I decided to choose the font I have for my masthead because I think it stands out from other music

magazines. I also chose it because I think it goes well with the music theme and it looks like it is something

that younger people would like.

I added this text here because I had dead space which made the magazine cover look unprofessional and unfinished. I decided to use a yellow and white

colour scheme on the front cover. By only

keeping the text two colours, giving it a more

professional finish.

From my research i noticed that there are no big blank

spaces on the cover so i filled some blank spaces i had at

the top of the page by using a promotion to 'Win VIP

tickets to meet DJ Rogers' furthermore I wanted to

keep the main elements on the right third by doing this i believe i have imitated the

work of real magazine editors which has

subsequently added to the professional finish of the

overall piece

I have also included a barcode and a price on the magazine, as this makes it look more like a professional magazine that could be sold in a shop

I have chosen to put one main picture on the front cover as this is how all the other magazine covers were set out, I think it works well as the readers know what the main subject of the magazine is, it also fills up a lot of space so you can work around it.
