The main concept for my magazine was to create a up to date magazine based on current events within the music industry to entertain and inform the public. The target audience is aimed at theslightly older generations between 25-35, this is because the magazine is more formal and would appeal to them rather than younger audiences who would be more suited to a colourful upbeat magazine. I have appealed to the target audience by using less bright colours and an overall simple look, using more formal fonts that look stylish and suited to older generations.
The main image i used was Emeli Sande as she is currently a big part of the music news due to her winning the best british female solo artist at the brit awards.
The titles i used are all small quotes and headlines from the news that give an insight of the information and interesting stories that would be featured in the magazine.
The photoshop tools I used were mainly the lasso tool to mask around the singer, I also used the text tool with drop shadow so it stands out from the background. I used the paint tool to create some glows and colour gradients within the cover too. Finally I used saturation adjust and gradient maps to give the colouring of the cover.
One thing I like about my cover is that the overall cover looks very simple yet sophisticated which was the main thing I was trying to achieve.
One thing i would improve is the arrangement of the text as although it fits around the central image it does look random and sometimes out of place, I would also increase the opacity of the flag in the background so it becomes bolder and stands out more. I would also add text to the bottom of the page next to the bar code including prices etc.
