front cover layout


On my font cover i want to make it stand out and look interesting and entertaining
one way i can do this is by choosing a suitable colour font that not only looks appealing and fits in with the music genre,but also fits in with the target age group.

I decided that the colour that i am going to have for the main heading will be bold and red, with a black background around the writing. the reason i chose a black background is because the main title (being red) will instantly stand out against the background. the dominating colour on the background behind all the images and the writing will be a very light grey.i chose grey because i want the images and writing to stand out and look more dominating against a light background, also i didn't want to chose white because i didn't want the cover to look too bland.

Because my chosen music genre is heavy rock, i want to colours to be dark, so the magazines appearance is dark and fits in well with the music genre i have chosen. i was to chose light and bright colours,it would not tie in with the type of music my magazine is focusing on. Each week, the background colour will change but will still remain light because i still want to keep the theme of the images and writing being dominating and standing out. i will keep the colour of the writing the same colour, this will be part of the magazines trademarks. with the dominating bright red title people will soon be able to distinguish my 'mash-up' magazine just by the appearance.

The main image will be covering the majority of the front cover, the main image will be an image of what the main story line is going to be about, for example, which ever band i put on the front cover, that band will have the main storyline, and will hold the main focus and attention.
