Front cover

This is my completed front cover. I went back and changed the house style and made it more simple because it didn't look right before, I had too many colours and different fonts. Original colours that I had on the front were: Red, yellow, black, and white. It was recommended that we only used two or three, so I went back and changed that. With the exception of the band's logo, I only used red and black.

This new house style of the red on black began when I was making my contents page. I started to use that as my house style, and when I went back and looked at my front cover, I realised they didn't look like the same magazine, so I changed the house style of the front cover. The reason I used red on black is because I think it stands out, and it also lets the read know that the magazine is a rock magazine. The font I used is called Impact, and I used this font for most of the text. I think Impact stands out really well and looks good on a magazine.

I only used one image on the front of my cover because I noticed when looking at "Kerrang!" magazine that they tended to use one main big image (occassionally with a small one at the side) and then just had lots of text around it. I chose the image I used because my target audience is quite young, and I think it would appeal to a lot of young teens to have a fun and outgoing looking band on the front of their magazine.
