music magazine cover

Today i've started creating my masthead for my music magazine..

I've found that a more smooth, curved text fits the music genre more then block text as it shows the style of music through the text.

These are the typography styles i looked and i decided i would use a total different text.

 

I chose not to use this text as i think it doesn't represent indie styled music.

Instead, I decided to use this text because it connects to the genre of music and draws attention to it.

This is the base of my music magazine, stripped to basics. I decided to use a plain, neutral colour for my back ground to make her the main attraction when you look at it. I chose to make the title a similar colour to the models t-shirt to make these my continuing colours through out making pages for my music magazine. I like how bold the title looks in comparison to the pale back ground, this makes the name of the magazine noticable.


I added text to my music cover...

I think it looks good and well presented because the text does't cover any if the models face. I have also made it so the main cover story is connected the cover model as this is what happens on the front of published music magazines. If i was to edit anything on this i would make the title a little darker as i wanted the main colour to tie in with the models t-shirt and the title is lighter. I think i have presented my music magaine appropiately and i feel it looks realistic. If i had to re-do the whole thing again i would take this image with both of the models shoulders in as i think it would look better if the model was central.

I then moved the text around and changed the colour of a few things so that i have a contrasting colour.

I think this version looks a lot better then before because it exaggerates the fact jade is the cover model through the text being an opposite colour to the rest. I also added subheadings to show what the stories are inside instead of having a list of bands which are included.
