Front Page Design #2


This cover design appears a lot busier than the first. I decided that I wanted a design that contained more text as well as at least one smaller additional image, and so thought a full-body image would be more appropriate to use. I didn't want text to cover the main image, effecting its prominence, and so came to the conclusion that a full-body shot apposed to a close-up would prevent this from becoming an issue. The text running down the left-hand third will list the main features of the magazine - a design idea I got from analysing a Q magazine cover. Having this list occupy much of the left-hand third of the page should help in attracting the audience when the magazine is stacked on a shop shelf, as this is the section that will be most visible. The title is in a jagged style of font as this reminds me of rock music. The title is also surrounded by a 'jagged bubble' to make it stand out further and appear as though it is jumping out of the page.
