Front cover draft

This is a draft of the music magazine that I would like to produce. From looking over other magazines I noticed that they all had a colour scheme of 3 colours. One of which was a bolder and brighter colour which is the reason for the purple. For the real magazine I would add more information on other bands, which would make it look more inviting. At the moment the magazine looks much for a female audience which is not the case. When I have my image and the replies from my questionnaire then I will be able to work out an appropriate colour for both male and female.



 










 I called the music magazine 'Relevance' because all of the music that is in the magazine is relevant to the reader, the charts etc. I don't normally like adding big circle and shapes on the page because I feel it can make it look messy and this could make it look worse. I am happy with the draft and it has given me ideas for what I would like for the proper magazine and it has shown me what I shouldn't do.

These are a few examples of NMEs front covers; they are all different but with on similarity. The title's and the colour scheme always has red. I like the way the image is always big and is the main part of the front cover. Whether there are 1,2,3 or more; it is relatively always a close up. This shows the reader that it is an important part of the magazine and it most likely the main story. As you can see there is a big difference between my magazine and theirs. I wanted to stick to a 3 colour, colour scheme but I feel that because their quite dark colours they have not worked as well as I would like them to.
