I am happy with the out come of my front cover. I like that I have kept the same colours throughout but I have used different fonts for the coverlines.
I have learnt from doing my music magazine is that, there are many different factors that you must take under consideration when planning and making the magazine. I had to use photo shop to bring all the elements of my magazine together. At first I found photo shop hard to work and it did get quite annoying when it didn't do the simple task that I wanted it to. In the end I have found it easier because I know how to use the tools and how to get the desired effect that I was looking for. When working on photo shop, you can't just click on one button and it will do what you want. I found that you have to click a few different buttons to get it to do what you want. Then when it came to making my music magazine I decided that I needed to figure out how to use photo shop. So I got help from my family, teachers and I looked on the Internet for tutorials. Another technology that I had to work with was a camera. This was because I had to do a photo shoot for my double page spread. From my own photo experience, you can't just go in and take some photos and it will be done. I had to plan what I wanted and then I still had to make some changes to them with the use of photo shop again. From my photo shoot I got about 50 photos of my model and then I only used about 7 of them in my magazine, with the exception on one which I decided to take on another date.
A magazine is there to get you to read it, so if a magazine front cover does not catch your attention then it won't sell. I think that I attracted my audience by the use of different fonts on my front cover. I think that having different fronts make the font cover look more interesting and exciting. I have about 6 different fonts on my front cover. All my cover lines are also in different sizes. This is there to show more important parts of a magazine
