FUSION MAGAZINE DRAFT

Using Photoshop I put together a rough draft of how we can layout our magazine. We wanted to see what type of picture would work on our front cover and even though we liked this photograph of the band we decided that this picture is too dark for the front cover. 

I was playing around with using the three colours Red, Yellow and White on the front cover.

After making this test cover we do realise that we need to put more information on the front cover. Our mast head and main selling line need to be a bigger font with the writing underneath being smaller. Our footer bar would also need to be smaller so that it doesn't over power the magazine.    

This is a rough hand drawn sketch of our front cover experimenting on what to include on the front cover.

OUR FUSION READER PROFILE

We made a reader profile on PhotoShop for our magazine FUSION to show what kind of things our target audience like and will be looking for in our magazine. 

FIRST HURDLE IMAGE

We were inspired by the positioning in this picture in this photo for our cover page. The lightning and background might be changed to suit our title and cover lines.

PUNK ROCK MAGAZINE COVER EXPLORATION

While researching magazine covers I have discovered that most magazines follow the same layout. This is helpful for Charlie and me as we can follow this layout in our magazine cover.

While thinking about ideas for our magazine I decided to look up different punk rock magazine covers, contents page and double spread page to try and get different ideas on how to set out our work. 

The one magazine I came across which i really liked was NME. The magazine covers normally have one single picture of an artist with a plain background. The magazine only uses around three colours which compliment the picture and background. This is a good idea for us to use in our magazine.
