My own magazine front cover photoshop trial


I created my own version of a front cover including the masthead I am going to use when I come to producing my own music magazine, I decided to call my magazine Symphony because it is linked with music and it fits with my intended genre of music which is pop. I also chose Symphony, because the pop music magazines that already exist have a name like 'Top of the Pops' or 'We love Pop' which I find to be based at a younger audience even though their magazine may not be. The mastheads they choose might attract more of a younger audience. I have added an image of The Vamps, because they are slightly new to the music industry and are a pop/indie acoustic driven band who started out putting covers up on YouTube, so they would be able to relate to the people my magazine is aimed at. I have also placed a barcode in the bottom left hand corner of the cover just like you would find on already existing magazines. You would normally find the barcode for a magazine at the bottom of the magazine, however you do sometimes find the barcode under the issue number and issue date. The photo I chose to use was made up of bright colours, because all of the pop magazines I have researched use bright colours and that is what the main colour scheme is throughout each pop magazine I have looked at.
