This is my mock up for my magazine front cover. As I looked at what type of music my magazines genre will be, I chose to use the band the XX's picture on the front. Their type of music is indie/alternative. I stuck to my scheduled colour scheme with the blacks,whites,reds and yellows. The only thing that didn't work was the yellow font on the black and white background. So i am going to make to make the yellow font bigger and bolder so then you are able to see it. I liked the black and white background on the photo, so I am going to use that on my actual front cover magazine. The red worked really well with all of the colours and stood out a lot and that's why I chose the main titles to be in red so they stood out. On my mock I included all of the basic elements to any magazine such as the barcode, price, date etc so it it was realistic. With the main titles font, I made sure that it had a rock look to it to suit the genre, and I looked back at my other fonts on my Prezi presentation and looked at what font themes I had looked at. To improve next time, I think I am going to use better and more interesting fonts for the side headings because I think it looks really plain and boring, i want something that catches peoples eyesight. Another thing is make sure that with the yellow colours I am using that you can see the writing on top of the photograph. I also don’t like the way that the main cover title is placed and I think it looks out of proportion, so I am going to keep having a few mess abouts with the way that the main title is going to be put.
