Conventions and analysis of contents page 1

Final front cover draft

This is my final front cover draft. I chose a colour scheme that fits in well with my chosen genre of alternative rock/indie (black, red and white) Also the red makes the front cover stand out well as it contrasts nicely with the other colours. I used auto on my image to make it brighter and more defined. My masthead is conventionally at the top of the page and i think the name reflects the font as it is quite 'fuzzy'. After the feedback, i got told that my plug needed to be yellow and smaller so the text runs over it. I have the basic conventions of the date and price underneath the masthead but i think it needed to make them smaller. I have a barcode at the bottom right corner but again i think i needed to make it a little bit smaller. I have teasing contents at the bottom of my front page which i like as after researching other magazines i have noticed that others have them too and it gives readers an insight into what other artists are featured.

Front cover draft 4

This is my fourth draft of my music magazine front cover. I changed the font but im not sure if it stands out as much as i want it too. The image i really like as it is simple but effective and engages the audience. Although i needed to make it brighter as it looks a bit yellow. I think i like the fact that the main cover line is on a side but i would need to make it a different font so it is more different. When i got feedback they said i needed to change the white circle to yellow and make it smaller so the text ran over it.

Front cover draft 3

This is my 3rd draft of my front cover. I changed the image and i think this is the most clearer image so far but if i were to use it in my final one i would make it brighter. I have stuck to my original colour scheme of red white and black as it seems to fit in with my genre most. I have changed to a different font for my masthead but arent sure which one i prefer so far. I'm not sure that if i made the image brighter i would then have to change the colour of my cover lines so it looks more clear. The image i think looks more like my chosen genre of music aswell.

Front cover draft 2

This is my second draft for my front cover and i changed the image to see which works better. I really like this image as i think that it engages the audience more with there being eye contact. I changed the font of the masthead and the colour which i still think stands out in white and i really like the font. I still have red in my colour scheme to make it stand out. I changed some of the text to blue to make it different but im not sure whether it goes with the colour scheme.

Front cover draft 1

This is my first draft of my music magazine front cover. This one i like but there are some things that  i dont like and would need improvement. I think the text needs to be made more clear on the cover lines and because the text is black it is quite hard to see. The pull quote is also hard to see with it being in black. I like the font of the masthead as it is quite unique and i like it in red because it stands out and catches peoples attention. Also this is the only draft in which i have used an image with a background that isnt white. I like this as it makes it more interesting but it is hard to find the right colour for the text that fits in with the colour scheme and is also noticeable.
