This is my front cover, as you can see I have just one main picture across the whole of the page, which bleeds out at the edges. This allows me to have sub headings around my photo to display the information about whats inside my magazine. The name of the magazine MTM (music that matters), was important because it has to "describe" the magazine and try to sell itself. That's why 'music that matters' was quite an appropriate name because it targets people who love music.
The style of the heading was also very important as it is one of the main focal points in the magazine. Other magazines such as kerrang have their title in a block running along the top of the page. This is a good idea because when the magazine is on a stand the main part of the page could be obscured by other material, but the top of the magazine is normally viewable.
Also when your browsing through magazines you need a title that catches your eye and that's easily recognised. The big yellow font across the page stands out from the rest of the dark background. This helps to focus the eye towards the center and to achieve maximum viewing potential. The clown picture also grabs the readers attention because its unusual and bizarre, this could be an incentive to read on and find out more. The guitar helps to establish what kind of magazine it is, as you wouldn't necessarily see a clown holding a electric guitar in a pop magazine. The colours also help to establish the magazines genre as dark colours are normally associated with rock and metal. Red is also a colour associated with rock but also danger and blood. This helps to give the magazine an element of scariness to it. The text that i used for the cover was called "capture it". This was a font that i really liked because it had a certain miss fit about it creating an image of slightly scruffy and blurred effect. This was use full because i think that my target audience wouldn't like something that is perfectly presented but something that was more related to the rock genre and their own style. The text that i used for the logo was 'bleeding cowboy'. This text had an unusual look about it and created a slight contrast with the other text, because it had an elegant feel to it but seemed to work as a whole. At the bottom of the page i had a box of text just giving you a few ideas of what was inside to intice the reader to read on.
