Magazine cover plan

REAL MAGAZINE COVER PLAN

Evaluation of music magazine

Ø Aimed at people aged 14+

Ø The cover magazine will meet the needs of a musical based audience. Mainly girls who like gossip, girl bands(maybe) and the subject of feminism.

Ø The cover design will have the according colours to the type of band or theme. I will be going for a calm theme, basic simple causing a tranquil effect.

Planning the elements

Ø The background would probably be soft, not drawing much attention. This allows the sole focus to be the artist at hand. Or it will have a street-effecting look, almost like a candid.

Ø Probably location, a natural setting has a better vibe in my personal opinion.

Ø Depending on what type of look/ music taste the artist is, they clothes should go according. For example is the artist is looking for a statement with the magazine, a change, the makeup should stand out, be Smokey whereas if the artist is in for a calming, opening up about their life look; it should be natural, tranquil looking.

Ø Props should reflect the mood given off along with the clothes. Clothes and props should compliment each other well.

Ensuring the layout works

Ø The text should match something within the main image focus. In this case (using a soft black and white effect) the billboard sign will be a shiny black.

Ø Because the effect of the magazine is suppose to be calming, minimal text should be used to carry on the vibe.
