Front cover mock up (drawn)

This is a drawn up version of my front cover.  I drew this to develop my ideas of how I am going to set out the page as this is important so everything can fit on the page without overlapping.  It also allows me to think about where I am going to place the sell lines that I want to stand out the most.

LANGUAGE:  The colour used in the photo is very minimal.  It includes yellow, blue and a hint of green in the title.  These colours could be used most issues or it could be used to catch the buyers eye.  Colour can also be linked to the person/celebrity on the front cover.  For example, their signature colour (Justin Bieber and purple) or their gender or music genre.  The setting of the photo is a dark and what appears to be music speakers.  This links in with the fact that it is a music magazine.
