For my final product I have changed alot on the layout and font of my font cover for my music magazine. I decided also to re-arrange the placement of some of my text and icons as I wanted to replicate the professionalism of real authentic music magazines. I also added in more cover lines to correlate with my contents page.
I started off by deleting all my previous editing at the bottom half of my cover page. I then went on to DaFont.com where I searched for alternative, funky typefaces which would stand out for my main artist image. I then found a font called "Visual" - I then edited the text because of it's certain layers consisting of black and white into my colour scheme of red, white and black. Immediately this made the text stand out as well as run with my house style. This is an element of my cover page which i really like. I then began to add in more text and cover lines so my cover page looked fuller and more authentic, they are all in the same typeface of "Euphemia Ucas" which i used for all the text on my cover page. I highlighted these by making them different colours, adding in shadows and highlighting them. I also added in a plus sign ( + ) - I had seen this used in some magazines which I analysed and thought it was a cool concept which my target audience would appreciate.
I then began to highlight the main feature text "Luna Ford" with a white background, again to make it stand out predominantly. I then rearranged the positioning of my barcodes, one simple for payment in retail, and another which could be accessed through smartphones, this was an element that I believe must be included to keep up with new advancing technologies, also in small print i added in four social media icons, again to gain more readership and make my readers feel more involved within the magazine.
This is my final design for my COVER PAGE for my Music Magazine.
