This is my final front cover draft.

This is my second cover of my magazine. I have chosen a different layout howver i like the theme of using reds blacks and greys as they symbolise a contrast between the different types of music that can be produced within the indie/alternative genre.

This is one of my final magazine front covers. I have made the image black and white in order to make the red text stand out better, it also displays more clearly how contrasting the model's clothing is to the bright background which symbolises that she is dark and mysterious. The black text on the left of the image discussng 'Amy and the Rangers' also links to my models clothing which shows that this piece of writing is about her, i have also used this idea on a quote from the magazine in the middle of the cover where the writing is red but placed over a black background like 'Amys' clothing to show that the text is about her. The CD's could possibly be edited in order to stand out more as i belive they dont have enough significance in the image as i would like them to, therefore i will try to aim to do this on my next magazine cover.

This is a draft of how i want my magazine to look, bydoing this i have realised that i am unsure of weather the plaine white background looks very good and am now concidering alternate choices of background i could use. I like the idea of keeping the theme red, grey and black because i believe these 3 coulours stand out but also compliment each other rather then contrast which is something i want to achieve so that my magazine looks well presented and therefore appealing to my audience. On my real images i need to make sure to edit my model properly. If i am going to change the background that she is placed on i need to ensure that she is properly cut out and neatly manipulated onto a seperate image.
