Today, I finished my first digital mock-up. It is of my front cover, and uses all, if not most of the conventions of a classical music magazine. I have used another classical music magazine as inspiration for my magazine. Here is the inspiration for my magazine cover digital draft
In my digital draft of my cover, I have used a photo of a classical artist as oppose to the photos I will be taking as I have not yet finished editing them. Once I have finished my photo shoot and the photos are finished editing. This is my digital draft of the magazine cover, inspired by the one above. It also uses my hand-drawn draughts as a basis for the organisation of the sell lines, main headline, cover model, free CD, date/price/issue, masthead and bar code.
The free CD offer was later made bigger to further increase it's effectiveness as a free offer/advertisement. this makes the offer more appealing to customers and make it more eye catching, as offers tend to draw more attention to magazines, therefore the magazine is more appealing to it's audience.
