3. Font used on cover lines: Gill sans ultra bold condensed and
New Romans Times
I tried very hard to avoid using more than two fonts because I found out that using more that
two may cause my magazine cover to look disorganised (I found this out during my prilimary
task; the making of my student magazine)

4. I tried placing images on top of texts, I
decided to do this because I notices
some professional music magazines
such as “Q” and “Billboard did so too.
Text has been
placed behind the
main image, giving
more focus on the
musician or artist.

5. Tried being a bit more creative, and added some
animation. To emphasis on the sound coming out if the
stereo. However, I later deleted them because I thought
they were too “tacky”

6. Added the issue number and magazine price.

7. Included my barcode

8. While structuring my front page, I contemplated
on placing two similar Images on the cover;
rather than one. But decided to merge them
together, so the image seemed more 3D rather
2D

9. 3D Images merged together
did create a 3D effect as
the one on the left; seems
stand out of the rest of the
front cover unlike the one
below
2D

10. Here, I coloured
my two strap lines
Although I ended up
colouring my strapline
green, I contemplated
between colouring it
either green or yellow.

11. Next, I coloured my main cover
line; which was placed at the top
of my front cover, to ensure my
secondary audience are aware
that some of the biggest funk
names are featured in this issue.
Subsequently persuading them to
buy it.
