Front Cover Designs

Basic layout of proposed music magazine, Attempting to draw the customer in by offering free things, this was a technique used a lot by other magazines of my genre. Silhouettes represent featured artists Who will appear the biggest on the front Cover, The person at the front will be larger and appear to be jumping out, I will achieve this by overlapping Layers. Will give the reader a brief look at what else is in the magazine, another technique used by other magazines to help the reader understand what is featured without the need to look through. Some indication as to the colours I would prefer, A colour scheme can help give a magazine a defining look At this stage in time not sure what images will feature in these spaces the content is irrelevant as long as it is an interesting feature in the magazine, the content can be decided once the images have been taken

Contents Designs

Showing the date that the issue was published and the issue number is the standard in a lot of magazines. Empty spaces that are a design fault. I have spotted these after I have made the designs and this will need to be changed in the final product.
