We've recently started our music magazine coursework and after planning, giving our surveys etc, we finally started the front cover in class. My music magazine will be called 'Lyric', contains artists in the rock/alternative genre, aimed at both sexes and potentially for 14 years old and over. We're all using 'In Design' to design our music magazines and it's gradually getting easier to understand the program, especially the more we use it.
I've currently only got half of my front cover done as all I need is some photographs to add so then I can include my features and cover lines too so it all fits. I made my background black, my font white as well as a 'pink/purple' over glow. I added the 'over glow' using the effects on the edit/tool bars. The reason I also used this colour scheme as it got the most votes in my survey, despite the fact I was hoping to at least use black and white anyway. My masthead is large, white, with an over glow of pink/purple and in italics. I may change the pink/purple colour scheme though incase it looks too feminine as well as the font if it all doesn't stand out or fit nicely. I've also used the same colours for my selling line and the words, "Music is the rhythm, Lyrics are the rhyme. Sit up, plug in and go." hoping to attract the audience, although I may change it later on as well as the font used. I've also included the bar code, the issue number and the skyline. I also helped a few people in the class about how to use tools and colours which educated myself even more!
