Blog 30
Hello Everyone,
Today, I made my first draft of my front cover. My model Ellie was
unable to go anywhere as we only had an hour so I took pictures in her garden.
I will be re-taking my images of her in the next few weeks. (I’ll write a blog
about the photo-shoot)
The image is very dominate and takes up the whole
page, making my model (Lily Rose) stand out. She’s wearing the flower crown
(mentioned in a previous blog)
The font I used for “Lily Rose” and everything
associated with her is called “Brain Flower” and I downloaded that from “Da
font” (all of my fonts will be downloaded from Da font)
The main title of “Vinyl” is a sharp straight font
unlike most of the other fonts also; it has a white outline which makes it
stand out. I placed the title in the top left hand corner because both of my star
models NME and Q have placed their titles there. I chose the name “Vinyl”
because it’s linked to the music industry and is considered “vintage” so it
links with my target audience.
The banner at the top offering a free poster is a
slightly similar font as the one I used for the “Vinyl” title. I chose a
similar font because it stands out and is very readable. I changed the colour
of “poster” to yellow so that it stands out, also NME does this.
I don’t have a barcode made yet however I know
where I want to place it so I wrote “barcode here” so that my feedback was
helpful and wasn't just “You need a barcode” because I knew that.
Finally, the side bar which I have put other bands
names that will be included inside the magazine. I included artists such as;
Arctic Monkeys, Jake Bugg and Lana Del Ray etc, as they all link to my genre so
will appeal to my audience.
I am aware it needs a lot of work, and hopefully
my feedback will help me improve it.
