Front cover of Music magazine



I came up with the name 'Sound' for my music magazine because i thought that it linked well with the genre being a music magazine. I decided to use the colours white and deep purple for the colour of the name of the magazine with the 'S' being in the dark purple and the four other letters 'ound' being in white. I thought these colours worked well since the background of the magazine is black. Across the top off the page above the Name of the magazine is a page reference too a page in the magazine for free downloads. The colours used for them is also the same colours used for the name of the magazine. Underneath the name of the magazine there is a strap line in white it says UK's best selling music magazine...' i used this so that it makes the magazine look more professional and so it bigs up the magazine by saying the 'UK's best'. The main image i used on the front cover of the music magazine was edited on photoshop to make the surrounding go black too match the background colour. I decided too use this image for the front cover because i though that it looked best to go on the front cover of a music magazine more than any of the other photos which i had for the magazine. I thought that the photo was a bold photo to use for a front cover and the colour of the girls lips link in the the 'S' in the name of the magazine to make it look more professional and i also thought that it would look good, So when you read the name of the magazine the colour of the 'S' could therefore link you too look at the  lips of the girl, which then would make you notice the main image. Beside the main image on the magazine and just below the name of the magazine i then added an image of the union jack, in a circle shape this has the words 'The 50 best british albums voted by you', the circle shape of the union jack links in with the how it's about albums as it's a CD shape. The reason i chose the union jack flag too use instead of any other thing else was because it links with the strap-line by the use of the Uk, also how in the circle it has the word British so i though that it would link well with that as well. Below that i have the name of the girl in the photo 'Kelly' this is in the colour red. This word is the second biggest on the front cover. I used that so that it would draw people in since it's a photo of her on the front cover so it links in with that.
