Final construction of front cover

Motion picture of the creation of my magazine front cover
 
 
 
 
Firstly I have added in a gradient background to my magazine as I did not want it to be plain white as I thought it did not look as professional. I then added in my masthead which is pop culture. I made the font on the internet as I thought it gives the magazine a pop feel.lastly I added in my main image, I will make sure that the rest of my headlines are put around the photo,


Next I have added in my skyline, slogan and first headline to make the magazine jump out at people. I have made my main headline big as I want people to notice it



Next following the codes and conventions of other magazines I have added in the + symbol to make people interested in the next headline and to entice them into buying the magazine.

 
Below my two main headlines i have added in my barcode, issue number, date and price as it looks professional and all other magazines use this convention.

 
On the middle of my front cover I have added in a pull quote on top of the feature artist to let people know that it is going to be an itnerview. The pull quote is interesting as my target audience will want to know what is a dream come true

 

Lastly I have added in more coverlines to fill up my contents page as I did not want it to look blank.
