Front Cover TimelineBy Aamna Arshad

The Image

For the cover of my magazine I had to crop the picture I took since I didn’t want the background to show. I had to select the image, and cut it so I could paste it on my magazine.

Starting the magazine.

Once I had pasted the image and positioned it I put my masthead up, which took a bit of time as I wasn’t sure which font and colour to use.

Making it realistic.

After experimenting around and looking at other magazines like Billboard and other Pop music magazines, I changed my font. I made the font colour bright to make it look like a Pop magazine. I added special edition to entice my audience.

Finishing off

To attract more readers I also added some famous artists who have a big fandom. Finishing off I added the barcode and price to make it realistic along with the website.

Drafting 1

This was my first draft, when making the front cover for my magazine as you can see I used bright colours to show that it’s a pop magazine.

Draft 2

When I did my second draft I was told to put the cover story artist at top to show she was the main feature, I also changed around the colour for my masthead as it wasn’t looking like a pop music magazine and needed more colour. I added a bar down the bottom to entice my audience more and make it look more attractive.

Draft 3

This is my final drafts, as I made a lot of changes in this one, making the feature artist name bolder to show she was the main story and also I put my articles in line making it look even. I also made the masthead bigger making it stand out more and attract my audiences eye.
