Magazine Front Cover

This is my Magazine front cover, I wanted to keep the colour scheme as blue, white and black. I put the 'xfactor' in red as that is the colour of the show and people will be drawn to that story and want to buy the magazine to see it for themselves.  

How i created my front cover





The picture above show the way that i have made my front cover, i have added several layers that made sure that the picture looks good and changed the colour so that it blends in with the colour scheme but also stands out. There are different types of layers such as the text is all above the picture apart from the main magazine title which is at the top of the cover, other text has gone over the top of the picture this is just to show that i know how to put the text above the picture rather than behind it. The bar-code is on the front cover because it fills space and allows for the viewers to see it. The price, website and date are all in the same text to show that they are all promotional and are advertising the magazine and also giving people the information that they need to buy the magazine.

Genre Choice

I made the decision of what genre choice i was going use on my music magazine, these will be located on the front cover contents page and double page spread. I based my choice on the music i listen to on a daily basis these are mostly the songs in the charts at that particular time, i like the way it changes all the time and there is always coming around the corner. These songs are mostly pop, R&B and rock etc.

The pages of my magazine will have the featured artist on the front of the magazine and this picture will be on my double page spread. The contents page will feature other pictures of artist and where they will be located in the magazine. The artists that i have taken pictures of are my cousins they will be given stage names and these will be in the magazine.
