Front Cover

Planning

Over the past 2 lessons I have been trying to put my front cover together and I have been deciding the font for my front cover. Originality my title was going to be all red but I decided to have the 'a' in black instead so it stands out more and gives it a more of an edgy look. Likewise I decided to have the letter 'a' in a larger font to the rest so it stands out ahead of the title. I also added a line saying '1st of 10 limited edition front covers' coming off the title to make my magazine look as professional and realistic as possible. I made the 'of' italics and also black to make it stand out as the rest is red like the title. This is because I took inspiration from Q magazine as they tend to do this a lot on their front covers and they are the model that I am making my magazine more like, with a twist of NME, I am adding some NME style into it as well because that's where I am getting the 'indie' look from. I am showing this the most on my contents page because the picture that I am using has a rustic dark red wall as the background and that gives it a cool effect. Where as Q magazine would use a clean looking background like plain white. This is one of the only differences though, the rest is mainly like Q. 

Today I am going to try and finish the writing and fonts on my front cover and then start my contents page.

However I am doing photos for Mel's magazine so that will effect the amount of work that I will be able to complete in the lesson.
