development of front cover

this here is the first stage of my front cover. the model used is my sister, jessica white. i have edited the image by putting it into a black and white effect; for the title  i used the font blairmdITC TT and i used a pale pink to make it stand out well, and placed it on top of the page. i have included the barcode, date of issue and the price on the bottom of the cover to show the audience what issue it is and price.


this is the next stage into creating my front cover. i have now included a strapline on top of the cover which repeats ' the uk's biggest monthly music magazine'. i have included my leading caption which is introducing the new artists i have created and will be completeing an article on.













at this stage i have really added or changed much as you can see but i have added a slogan ' top 40 inside' which i hope will convince people to buy my music magazine and let it stand out from the other music magazines.

on this stage i have included six subheadings which gives the reader an idea of what is going to be inside my magazine and should convince them to buy my magazine. i have used a pale pink, baby blue, black and white to colour the text and give some colour to the front colour so they can also stand out.
