THE MAKING OF MY FRONT COVER
PAUSEMASTHEADSpreads from left side to ¾ along page.
DIFFERENT KICKERSSeparated by lines.
IMAGETaking up entire background of cover.
BARCODEIn upper right corner with price, website and date next to it on the left.
COVER PHOTO SHOOT PLANI want the image to be a portrait headshot of a girl lying
down . I want her hair to be an interesting colour that I will edit on later. I want the rule of thirds to be used on my
cover, so I will crop the images so that the girls head is on the right hand side. I want the model to have an intense
stare that looks up at the reader to draw them in.THE MODEL I WOULD LIKE TO USE:
My friend Lunara.
THE OUTFIT:An unique jacket or top because you will only be able to see her shoulders.
LOCATION: My mums bedroom on her bed
LIGHTING:I will use a lamp for lighting.
PROPS:None.
THESE ARE THE PHOTOS I TOOK OF LUNARA ON THE BED.
2. On Photoshop I edited the image and turned Lunara’s hair and eyebrows pink to give her and edgy alternative look. I also made the image a bit more contrasted and I added eye shadow to match her hair.
1. This is the image I chose, I picked it because it was exactly the image I wanted, the lighting is perfect, the clothing and the model worked perfectly as well.
FIRST DRAFT
IMPROVEMENTS FEEDBACK
1. Needs a Barcode2. All text should be in
line3. More interesting
kickers
FINAL DRAFT
My magazine was inspired by clash in the image and the masthead and all my kickers were inspired by
NME. The reason I laid out all the kickers, masthead, etc in the way I did was so
that the first thing the reader sees is the
masthead, then the kickers then the models face. I
made the image like this so that the reader is confused as to whether she is lying down of her hair is flying
up. I made the models hair pink to make her look more alternative and indie and I think this worked very well
and would draw in different/alternative
people.
