Add Subtitle

I think the subtitle adds the missing piece towards this front cover. So i am now going to look at re-arranging it and seeing which works best for my front cover.

mock up 2

This is my second mock up. This design is simple but is good for catching the attention of the audience. I think this faded image works well and plays a good role of making this magazine looking good. However, i think this magazine is missing a subtitle which i will look at putting on and updating.

mock-up 1

This is the first mock up i have created i think that i will use a white background for future mock ups because it looks to dark and hard to understand.

Layouts

This is a layout i have created in fireworks. i use the box tool to draw boxes on a plain document and that designed and layed out where i thought would be a good place for each essential item needed on a front cover.

This first example is a popular layout where there is a lot going on. This is to enage the auidence. Magainzes such as Kerrang and NME use this sort of layout.

Magazine background colour

Through planning it is essential to look at different background colours. I have looked at a range of different colours to help me to decide which colour would suit a rock magazine best. This also helps me to visualize what my magazine front cover could possibly look like.
These are some magazine backgrounds that i have created using fireworks, this will help to pick what colours i will use for the fonts and pictures.

Colours of fonts

These are a few colours that i could use for the colour of the fonts on my magazine. I am doing a rock magazine so darker colours such as black, dark red or dark blue would be a good choice.
