First Draft

I have created my first draft of my music magazine cover however I can already see what is and isn't working about the cover. There are many different aspects of the cover that I am going to continue to edit and change until it is the way in which that I want it. 

As seen from my last post the picture that has been used was landscape, in order to over come this I have placed my image onto a white boarded which then makes it portrait. My colour scheme has been shown in the cover as it is black, white and red which is commonly used in many other magazines. However I am going to have to change where the writing that is on the image has been placed as it is not able to be read easily. The change may be to the font or the position in which is it on the cover. 

The fact that the band name has been put in bold makes it send out and draws the reader to it as it is in red however is not directly central. It does show how that is the name of the band and they are going to be the main feature of the issue. 

With the same at the bottom I have add a few names that are going to be included in the magazine, however I don't feel although the font goes with all of the others around it. I was also unsure if I should be using red or black as the colour however I did go with black as I am going to use red for any writing that is on the image itself. In the bottom right I have made a small statement as to why that band is on the cover however I don't think it fits in so will need to add in something more interesting. 

When creating the cover I need to ensure that I am using all of the conventions that are used in order to make up a magazine cover.
