Main Task

Our main task was to design a music magazine cover, a contents page and a double page feature. My design was based on a NME style magazine, with indie bands. It also reaches out to pop-fans with the different colours and varieties of musical genre. I did this to widen my audience range. My music front cover is similar to this style, as some on the photos are direct and others are indirect, and some are smiling and some are not. My cover differs in many ways. For my main image, of the band 'The Victims,' I tilted the photo to bring my attention to it. I put the date, issue number and price separate to the barcode, unlike a usual published music magazine. I also used bolder, larger font and different colours to advertise each photo. My contents page is similar as the title 'Contents' is at the top left of the page, and the list of contents is written on the right side of the page. It differs as i used a free-hand paint brush tool on photoshop to outline my photos with different colours.
