Cover of Music Mag


This is the final version of my cover for my music magazine, and I feel that on the whole it works fairly well.

I think that the colours work quite well because they complement the image well.Although the majority are a shade of red and could have been more diverse.

I think that the mast heads work well as they appear to create a boarder. The font I used Apple Chancery works well as it gives presents the feel of a young magazine and would draw in younger readers.

I think that the fonts also work well. The font I used for the title, Groovalicious Tweak, relates to the title of the magazine because there are small stars, and my title is called RISING STARS. The fonts I used for the article names: Lucida Calligraphy, Zanpfino, and Monotype Corsiva give the whoil cover a young, trendy feel to it. 
Although the fonts could have varied a bit more slightly, as they are all in 'italics'. I think the cover would have worked better if I had had more diverse fonts.

I think the image works well because she uses direct address and connects with the audience; however I feel that the image could have been more of a medium shot, and covered the title slightly. 
I think that I should have taken a few more possible cover pictures though so that I would have had more to chose from and possibly found one that could have worked better than this one.

I think that maybe I could have had a coloured background, but the use of a plain background enabled me to use more pinks and purples to target the female audience. If I had had a bit longer onthe project I would have found a coulour that would have worked well with the writing and didn't clash.
