Front Cover

FRONT COVER - DRAWN DRAFT

On creating my Front Cover to my magazine, I decided to change a few things on the way to make the front cover appeal to my audience better. I changed the name to "SOUND". This is because i felt like "POP-IT" was a bit cheesy and didn't suit my audience very well. I change it to "Sound" because it is a bit more straight forward and suits the magazine. I have an idea of what photo i want on my Front Cover and i think it will make it through all my drafts to my final.

FRONT COVER - 1st DRAFT

I have moved about a few things from my Drawn Draft. I moved the text boxes to give it more variety on my magazine. The title is short and simple and draws the reader in with lack of information so they need to read to see what is inside. I also changed from having a banner under the title to having puffs along the page and a banner with an "EXCLUSIVE" at the bottom of the page. This is because after looking at other magazines from my genre this is the kind of thing that is done so i decided to develop that into my own design.

FRONT COVER - 1st FEEDBACK

PHOTO MANIPULATION

1 - I had decided what kind of front cover I wanted to do so I took two photo of the same model (Jamie Taylor) in different positions so that i could photoshop them
2 - I joined the images together and cropped them so that the main image that came out of it was able to fit into my central image for the front cover of my magazine.

FRONT COVER - 2nd Draft

From my first draft, i have added a "Photographer credit". This is common in a pop magazine to do this as it is a thanks to the person who has taken the photograph. I have also tweaked with a few of the boxes and the D in SOUND has been edited to make it look cleaner to the viewer.

FRONT COVER - FINAL

On this final version of my front cover i decided to add a few parts. I added "THE RELATABLES" at the bottom with my "EXCLUSIVE" this is so that the reader knows what the exclusive in the magazine is about instead of it just saying "EXCLUSIVE". I also moved some of the texts around a bit to make the Front Cover seem more finished and professional.
