FRONT COVER
this is my final front cover. I am happy with the look of my magazine as I like that it is bold, clear and I feel would attract atention on a magazine shelf. the contract in the colour and font of the coverlines with the main coverline draws atention to the feature artical and gives the cover the style that I liked from the insperation of my style model of 'mojo' the clean cut colour theme will be continued throughout my magazine as will the fonts for perticular articals. I will use sinergy throughout my magazine to show that they are all conected and to contine the same standard of work throughout the rest of my work.

 Here is my first version of my masthead, this was the first step in making my front cover. It was inportant to use a bold colour.






 the next stage was to add the main image and main strapline I used the same colour but a differant font to make it stand out.

I then added coverlines on ither side of my image in a differant font and colour so it is clear to an audiance that 'sacha stone' if the focus. I put several on as I wanted to show that there was more than one story to my magazine. 

my next step was to add a puff in a bright bold colour that would draw atention to the cover. the reason I did this was that it was a feature of many of the magazines I looked at. I placed it in the top corner as in this way it did not intrude into the image but was still visible and clear.

I also included a tag line that would be short and memorable and also fitted with the colour theme of the cover, this was a theme I intend to use throughout the whole magazine.

I made it so there was also a website address on the front cover aswell as the small deatailes like isue number, date, price, bar code. theas aspects were what would make my magazine look more profetional. this was the final stage of my creation of my front cover.

MASTHEAD
I made my masthead to be clear, simple and bold. it is in a colour that will stand out and I will use throughout my magazine. I placed a drop shadow on the word 'TURN' as it is similar to the masthead on my style model magazine of 'mojo' I mad the 45 smaller as it is not as significant and I felt a 4 letter masthead would stand out more.

Cover Image

I chose this as it is bold and shows a good mid shot of the model, I took this photo in this way to show the light hitting down on her face from an angle. I chose to remove the shadow and background as I wanted a plain background, I also made the picture black and white altered the tone of the image to highlight the lips and eyes. this would also emulate my style model MOJO. the pose is interesting and gives options for surounding it with sub titles and is provocotive to mach the genre of music (like adele and emeli sande)

MY AUDIENCE

The audience I have targeted are the 'swarve' trendy adult audience. Jazz and Soul music has a general audience type so I have targeted this existing audience with my magazine. I will try to attract this audience with a cool theme look to my magazine.

Planning
responding to my style model I desinged a cover with a bold 4 letter masthead and and a domonating image that gowns over my masthead in places to make it bold. There is a large cover image to draw attention. I have also planned to use one main colour throughout and use black and white as this will be attention grabbing aswell as similar to my style model of 'MOJO' 

Style Model
MOJO

 Large black and white image - plain background - contrast with image - only colour in Masthead and main focus line - sub headings are plain - image gows over the masthead. I intend to use similar features of theis magazine in my own magazine.
