Front Cover First Draft Music Magazine

Here is the first draft of my music magazine front cover

I used adobe photoshop to edit make this front cover because its a good editing site. Before i started making my front cover first i started looking for possible fonts i could use. (List and example of all fonts will be in another post). I decided on three fonts that i wanted for my magazine. Neoprint m319 for my masthead, grunge for my strapline and defused for my articles. I crated boxes etc... to house most of the text in (idea inspired by kerrang magazine) In the box under my strapline and at the bottom of my page i added in artists that feature in there, these are artists that are slightly well known but not as well known or have less relevance than the ones that appear as part of my cover lines.

for my main cover line i linked it to the picture i took and called it "50 greatest upcoming acts" to show that the image is of an upcoming act. For my other cover lines i included the top 3 bands that my auudience said they liked (see my questionaires for more details on that)
The top 3 bands were Linkin Park, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nickelback respectivley. As Linkin Park and Red Hot Chilli Peppers got equal votes i decided to link their cover line together to it says "Linkin Park VS Red Hot Chili Peppers" with the "vs" match the colour of my main images clothes making it stand out. It also keeps to my main 3 colours of the magazine black and white (as my audience voted for) and red. Purple featured high in my magazine so i will use that later on probably in my double page spread.

My next cover line is off Nickelback and their new album as they featured high in my poll. My next is off a band i didnt put in my poll because i personally wanted to add them. One of the reasons they didnt featrue in my poll is because they aren't that well heard of here, thus why the cover line says "Rise Against Take On England" to show that they are only now trying to make it big in england.
