Front Cover Experimentation 1



I have been experimenting with colour combinations on the front cover of my magazine. I have changed the background/ image and font colours to try and gain a desirable effect.




In my experiment I have made a magazine cover look similar  to this issue of NME as it was my inspiration by using a yellow background and a black and white image. This gives the magazine and band a more dated, early-British-punk feel. I quite like this effect however the title still needs work and strap-lines need to be added.









I also used a combination of a grey background with pink text to mimic the effect of this version of the magazine. My image is a long shot which has been used on the front cover of this magazine, to make the background look more natural I shaded the colour manually. I am some what happy with the effect but will continue to experiment further.
