Here I have started to add the real elements of my plan. Features such as a coloured logo, artist name and description have been added with matching colours and 3D effect to help them look more appealing on the magazine shelf. I have included this colour scheme in the bubble at the top left that reads 'Indie Special.' The Barcode was found on Google Images, and I added a price in simple font so that it is easy to read. This feature was present in all the magazines I researched. I also designated the areas for text as they were on my plan. I omitted the bar at the top of the page as I feel that I can incorporate the information that would have been put there more seamlessley into the page.
Here I have implemented the text on the right side and the bottom of the page. These are the main stories eatured in the magazine, and having them on the front page will let people know some of the magazine's contents before opening it.
This is the information that would have been put in a bar at the top of the page. I think this design feels more natural. With the text being put around the logo, it draws attention to the information more effectively.
This si the completed front cover. I added a small 'WIN!' bubble to draw attention to the fact that there is competition in my magazine. I have learned from my research that this is usual for magazines as it hepls to persuade the reader to buy it.
