Front Cover Edits

Front Cover Edit 1

This is my first edit of my front cover page. As you can see, from my mock-ups, I have decided to maintain this layout as I know it is professional and effective in the way that it sells my product well, whilst conveying the genre of my product. The font I have used helps reinforce the overall theme of rebelliousness as it conveys recklessness to the audience.

This is the second edit of my front cover. Simply I have just changed my main image, from a medium shot to a close up shot of my model as a close up shot was used on Mojo's issue featuring Madonna, which I chose for my inspiration.

The masthead for my magazine 'WHITECROSS' covers my models face, therefore this front cover edit is not effective as the main image is covered and unattractive for the audience.

This is the third edit of my front cover. I have again changed the main image from a close up shot to a medium-long shot of my model. This is a effective photograph as it conveys the overall theme of rebellion to the audience as well as connoting the stereotypical rock star lifestyle, ultimately supporting the genre of my magazine.

Front Cover Edit 4

This is my fourth edit of my front cover magazine page. As well as changing the main image, I have also added a colour wash on top of the main image. This is so my model looks inspirational and admirable to the audience, so they aspire to look like my model. This is a convention of typical magazines, especially under the Classic Rock genre as the artists need to maintain their rebellious and inspirational attitude as well as their huge reputation and ego. 

Front Cover Edit 5

I have realised that the CD in the bottom left corner and the smaller image of Bob Dylan in the top right corner are not original images and they are not mine. Therefore as you can see, I have changed the CD cover to an original image that I took myself. Arctic Monkey's AM album is relevant to my genre therefore I am still conforming to my genre. The image in the top right is very similar to Bob Dylan's smaller image. This is an original image that I took myself to replicate Bob Dylan's image.
