Final music magazine cover.

• This is my final music magazine cover that I have created using Photoshop. I have included pull quotes, a bar code, graphics, subheadings, a masthead and a slogan on my cover and I feel as if this links to other music magazine covers, especially the ones that I used for inspiration. I am happy with how my cover has turned out. Looking back at my flat plans, my cover doesn't really resemble my flat plan. This is because the image that I took and was originally going to use wasn't that effective and wasn't great. For this reason, I had to take more photos. Looking back at my journey whilst making this cover, I can now see that the image that I was going to use isn't as good as the image that I have now as the model looked quite scared in the image and it just didn't seem as if a photo like that would be on a music magazine cover. The image that I have now on my cover works well with the genre that I have chosen, which is Indie. The colour scheme for the cover has also changed as originally I was going to use red, white and yellow. As I started experimenting with this colour and the first image that I had, it made the main image look quite drained and so I decided to change my colour scheme to burgundy, white and black as I find that this links more with the genre and with the clothes that the model is wearing. I think that my cover links to my research as in my research many people said that what attratcts the to a music magazine is the main image. I have tried to link my cover to my research as I have included a main image that includes the angle of gaze which would attract a reader. I have also linked the price to my research as in the survey, many people put down the price of £2.50-3. For this reason, I picked the price of £2.50 as most people put that price down. Overall, I am happy with my cover and how it turned out and feel as if I have really improved the cover, especially from where it started.
