Front Cover Features

The first feature is on the top right. The feature says " Inside:" and then underneath mentions five artists from my genre. I think that this fits my genre because I have included names of artists that are specifically from my genre.

The second feature is 'Adele' on the middle left. This will have a tiny bit of smaller text underneath explaining what 'Adele' will contain. I have put this in the same font as 'Inside' because it shows that they are all important features of the magazines.

The third feature is 'Taylor Swift' and underneath that '2016 is going to be a big year for POP!'. This is another feature like Adele where I have given a article name and a little information about what the article is about. I will have more of these on the front cover.

The last feature that is currently on the front cover at the moment is the black strip at the bottom. Here I will have five posters of five male pop stars. I have added this feature because most of the pop music magazines I used for my research had a strip of special posters that were included inside.

The above image is my finished front cover.

I have changed the black bar in the original photo to a smaller yellow bar. This is because when I added in one of the poster pictures it didn't look as good as I had hoped it would and so I had a look at a couple of Pop magazines and noticed that some of them had a strip of words like I have done. They used one of their main colours, black and white. I think this adds to my front cover as it gives the reader a taste of whats inside without giving too much away.

I have also changed the angle of Ruby Ria. I think that this need to happen as I think it adds something different to the cover as all the other features are straight. I have also added in a pull quote at the same angle as Ruby Ria saying "I've been asked to sign fans foreheads." I added in this because I wanted to draw my target audience in. 

I have also added in the four more features. They are "Rihanna, Zara Larson, Adele and Katy Perry." I used these people because they are all pop stars. I have used word play in Adele and Rihanna by using their song titles in the description.
