This is my nearly finished front cover for my magazine. I have got my title of my magazine at the top in large writing. The font of my title is distorted and i found it on 'www.dafont.com' i thought this style suited the genre of my magazine because it looks distorted and really matches the Gothic look that i wanted my magazine to achieve. In the right hand corner i have put a large advertisement saying 'GIG updates.Leeds fest 2009' the reason i put it there was because the person who is going to be looking at the magazine is going to see the title and then look across and the second thing they are going to see will be the advertisement. this will immediately attract them to buy this because as music lovers, if they were interested in going to Leeds festival then they have easy access to finding out what bands are playing and when. My Main image is of my band 'Static Fix' The reason i made this image so large is so that potential buyers will see this image and know that the main story is going to be about that band. and i have portrayed static fix to be really famous and a really advanced, popular band. the reader will also be shocked when they read the sub heading 'split up for good?' and will immediately want to read on to find out if this popular band is splitting up and why. 'Split up for good' again i got this font from'dafont.com' i used the distorted font again. the reason i chose to have this sub heading in distorted writing is because the story line is quite shocking and the distorted look adds to the effect that i have tried to give off.
