MY gradient blue
and black first
screen shot
Changed
background so
the blue could
highlight the
picture and
masthead
I touched up
the image
slightly with
shadow and
highlight did this
to darken the
image to see
more visible
This is what is
looked like
before I
changed the
gradient and
the shadow
and highlight
tool. I did this to
make the
image seem
stronger and
vibrant.
BEFORE
AFTER
MY masthead
positioning was
good but I wanted
the main image to
stand out as they
are what attracts
the reader next to
masthead. I used
inner shadow and
stroke to make the
‘KING seem more
3d and give it a
blue outline
I put it behind as it
seems more effective
in terms of the main
image standing out
well. The blue from
the gradient shows
up KING and main
image well. The
contrast of both
were better like this.
But I felt that the
masthead still didn’t
stand out well.
This black border
complemented the
black from the
gradient well as also
making the
masthead stand out
more. At this point I
was convinced my
colour scheme of blue
black and white
where working very
well. As they work well
with each other. Also
that my black and
white image was a
good idea.
I added the
microphone to
make the
magazine appeal
to music
audiences due to
the magazine
seeming to be
aimed at male
groups. Which is
what my target
audience has
said to me.
Ticket
giveaways I
used a
different
typography
and simple
effects such
as stroke to
give blue
outline.
My puff didn’t stand
out very well here
although I liked it I
decided to add a
black border just like
my masthead to
allow my puff to be
more visible.
The border I added
works well with the
colour scheme. At this
stage of the magazine
I was very pleased
with overall image.
Due to the colour
scheme looking to be
successful. I painted
music blue to make
sure readers get more
of an impression of this
being a music
magazine as I have
taken note that this
magazine seem s
more appealing to
men.
I put ‘KING.COM’ in
the left top corner a
lot of my readers
used the internet I
felt making reference
to a website was
important. Also alot
of music magazine
have a website. The
website was to
reflect my
questionnaire. As
internet has become
very popular in our
modern day.
I placed the text
here as I wanted
it to seem as if it
was coming
from his mouth.
As i felt this
quote was very
important from
my main article.
A lot of
magazine have
this on their front
cover to give
readers an
incentive to
purchase. It can
be seen as a USP
even though the
puff normally
does this.
I added ‘top 50 tunes’ as this
is normally something you
would find on a front cover
just to inform music listeners
on the popular tunes.
I added new as it may give
new buyers to purchase this
magazine. I felt it was
important to draw in new
readers who have an
interest in magazines.
This is just an
issue for the
magazine just to
add authenticity
to it. At this stage
the magazine
was looking very
promising. I have
had comments
from people of
how good it
looked.
I added the
interviews as
they are
expected of a
music magazine
I used the
epsilon to make
it seem the
magazine has
lots to offer.
£3.00 was based on my
questionnaire. As I
wanted the magazine to
be associated with
quality as my puff
suggest . I felt the price
was reasonable for a
music magazine
My final front cover is this as you
can see I have used my space very
well. My main image sands out very
well along with the main coverline.
Although I have been considering
to change the gradient to make it
appear behind his head so that
the blue in the gradient can
complement my main image .
Overall I am very pleased with my
final front cover it is very
appealing. The colour scheme I feel
is effective. Which means it was
successful. The drop shadow and
blue stroke worked very well. The
barcode also fitted in well.
