Front Cover

Layout Idea

This is one idea of how i would like my magazine laid out.

Pictures

I photoshopped my final image to brighten the background, it is advertising the main coverline with a simple "haha!" sign. The models are laughing to tie in with the comedy and the colours are black and white to match the colour scheme.

Bar Codes and Sizes

I then went on to look at how large i would like the bar code, i don't want it too large to taken up room and i don't want it small enough for a sales personel to find it hard top find.

Masthead Fonts

I narrowed my choice of mastheads down to these 6, trying certain mastheads with "the" before to change the effect. I am really look for a bold font to stand out to my target audience's attention.

Layout Style Ideas - (not context)

I hand drew two different layout ideas to get used to where the different conventions should be layed out like on a magazine front cover. These are not drafts of my magazine, just purely testing the lay out.

Main Cover Line and Cover Line Ideas

I have also created a spider diagram of cover lines to express accross my front cover.
