BackgroundI decided to use the surrounding background for my front cover because . I wanted to represent the authentic ,and (to an extent) un-edited impression of the magazine. Often music magazine touch up the front pages presenting an unrealistic portrayal of music artists. I felt the background was suitable for the magazine because it is a music studio, I feel that readers will identify with this because it strips music, almost down to its roots to the point where all you see is where it is made. In addition it allows readers to see a personal side of the artist that allows them to emphasise with them more. Hopefully this will create an affinity with the magazine and encourage them to subscribe

Focal image My focal image shows the audience
that the artist is the focus of the magazine.
It is a medium shot which encompasses the head torso and legs of the subject, but not the feet
In terms of the four points of interest my magazine meets two .Mainly because the space for the bottom to points of interest are used for text

Mast Head
My original mast head is fairly plain and simple which reflects the magazine
With the second masthead I wanted to link it to strapline of the magazine which is ‘delivering you the full story’. I attempted to make the masthead resemble a postage stamp with the ridges on the outside of it,

TextThe text was created by typing it around the picture in Photoshop itself, apart from the main strapline ‘delivering you the full story’.
The positioning of the text went to plan according to the sketch draft that I produced.
The headline is positioned across the bottom to give it its owns space and to make it stand out.

EffectsThe main effects that I used was simply blending the rectangles that I used to encase the main additional sell lines which indicate what is in the magazine. I did this by altering the opacity , simple moving the ticker left and right allowed me to see different opacity levels before deciding which one I wanted to use. I did the same thing with the red and grey rectangles within that , I positioned them to they looked like a plus sign.The same technique was applied to the circle with the text “exclusive first edition”

Other imagesAt this moment of time , the image on the left is a visual representation of how the magazine looks at this stage of the construction process.
I have also moved the banner to the top
To avoid the empty gaps, I have added a barcode and logo’s for the websites social networking presence of Facebook twitter and Google +

BackgroundI started with a plain background this time because I wanted it to look simple . In addition I wanted to draw more attention to the words and content on the page. I mages eventually fill up most of the space anwayway

Main images
I started of by placing the main images in the contents page. My aim was to put them higher are more closely follow the l structure I had in mind, but this would turn out to cause problems with the positioning of other parts of the contents. Instead I built the contents page around the images and moved them to a more central position.

Text and other images
As you can see I Added the text and the headings. I also numbered the stories , so the reader would know where to find them.
I also added images that are clearly relevant to the articles
The social networking images were used also, as page fillers and as useful indicators of how readers can interact with the magazine
I also added banners at the top and bottom of the page to make it appear more compact and organised

Headline & Stand First
Here I added the headline and positioned it in the picture so as not to draw much attention away from the article
The stand first is also positioned in the way which allows it to me read separately from the article, it also acts as an introduction, providing context to the article.
