Music Magazine Front Cover Mock-Up - 27/02/2011

This is the first mock-up of the front cover of my music magazine, which is of a punk/emo/rock/alternative rock genre. I will create a masthead at the top of the page, just below the dateline. The masthead will contain the name of my magazine (which I have not decided upon yet) in a bold font that will stand out to the reader. There will be a pug alongside this masthead giving an insight into another featured article, which will draw readers into buying the magazine so they can read more about this feature. On the left-hand side of the cover there will be a column showing the other main articles in my magazine, that will stand out and hopefully entice my readers into buying it. In the bottom right-hand corner, there will be the price and barcode, as there should be on every magazine. Next to this barcode, there will be the word "PLUS!" in big bold letters to draw the readers eye, and they will read the names of other bands/singers that are going to be discussed in my magazine. There will also be a pug, possible advertising a competition inside the magazine, that will engage the reader and encourage them to buy the magazine because of it. Lastly, there will be an image of the band featured in the main interview/article of the magazine covering the whole cover (with all the other text/imagery overlapping it) with the band name under it.
