Creating Front Cover

Firstly I created a Bold standout masthead 'Sound' was my chosen masthead in white with a black outline to make it visible during the creation of my front cover I used black outlines with white text a lot due to the colours being easy to read with the addition of the background/setting that the photograph was taken. I chose this setting for my front cover because the lighting was quite easy to work with. The model was centred so this gave me lots of room to work with when producing adverts and taglines.

Secondly I added some text involving some of the biggest grime artists in the hope that this would draw attention, I decided to use a grey bold text with a black outline of the text to force the names 'Stormzy, Skepta and Jme' to stand out more so than the texted used prior to their names. I thought this was a good idea because, this is a key aspect aiming to grime as a genre's targeted audience.

After this I added a small section using the space in the bottom left hand corner of the image, I decided to create a phrase in white text with black highlights, describe a piece of advertisement, about a popular grime artists in recent time period known as 'Little T' my outcome of this was to be an eye catcher for any of the target audience.

I decided to add a bar-code and price marker, to give my magazine cover a professional approach. This following the key media forms and conventions, and this piece of editing was only small so I decided to add this earlier rather than later, as it gave me a view/idea of the room that I had left to work with.

My advertisement had to be relevant to Grime, So i decided to do Adidas yeezy's because a majority of grime artist's and their fans were yeezy's or are a huge fan of them try to follow their trends, due to yeezy's being extremely expensive therefore I believe these are teh perfect giveaway.

 I followed this with a brief phrase, of what is to come inside on Page 7.

Lastly I created a header which includes names of high end grime artists/rappers in the community because they're relevant, I had to add something here otherwise there would have been so much open space that would have looked unprofessional, in the top right corner i decided to create my own personal magazine logo, which i will include on both my magazine contents page and double page spread.
