This is the Final Draft of My Front Cover, I had made minor changes to the Front cover such as removing the underlining of the main cover as this was unecessary and didnt meet the conventions of a hip hop magazine.
Also i realigned the main cover text to the left and closed the spacing inbetween as this took up unecessary space and blocked some of my image.
The main image is of P Diddy, who is a rap artists and so shows that the target audience who are represented are intereste din this genre of music.
This is a powerpoint shows the double page spread (DPS) in the source magazine, P Diddy the rap artist is the main focus in the entire page as his picture is the biggest. So therefore the eye flow begins form his picture and then moves its way around to the text. This is so that when the readers are flicking through the pages they picture would attract them first especially if they are a fan of the rap artist.
The main colours used on this DPS are White and Black with the heading being red, the black and white image represents the wealth that P Diddy represents. The colours stay constnat throughout the whole magazine.
Below is a video presenting my thoughts and evaluating this DPS:
This powerepoint gives details of how I edited the image that I used for my Front Cover of my music magazine. It explains the tools that I used and why i chose to use them.
I decided that I would like to follow the normal conventions of a typical magazine. I placed my masthead at the top, and I had my selling above it, whereas I know that some magzines have it below. I only had 2 coverline on either side and one Main Cover line that would link with my model picture on the front cover which would be in the middle.
