Here is the first draft of my music magazine cover. I used the photo of Chris as he’s my main character and then I took a look at the Empire covers for influence. I used a barcode image off google to make it look authentic and I got up the list of upcoming films in 2011 so it’s quite realistic. I kept it English, with the english currency sign at the top. I also included the date, website and a slogan like Empire’s- ‘the world’s biggest movie magazine’. I used ‘England’s biggest movie magazine’. I did the majority of my fonts in capital letters because it stands out more and i’m more likely to read it personally. I used a variety of fonts and texts, and the bigger fonts I used a bevel and emboss effect so they stand out more. I used a variety of colours because using all the same colours doesn’t look right anyway, but the background wouldn’t allow me to use all white as it’s quite dark and you can’t see the full sentence.
