I have now completed my Front cover of my music magazine. I used InDesign to create it.
Firtsly I selected the 'rectangle box' and dragged it all over the page, I did this so I could then place the picture of Andrew as the background of my magazine.
I then went to do the title. I use Dafont font for this and I used 'Barber shop' in yellow, I did this so it would stand out against the black and white background.
I then went on to do the sub headings.. I started with the headings about The Olivers, I used 'Trajan Pro' for all of the sub headings. I did some in yellow and others in White so they all stood out to the viewers eyes. I then put in a quote from the band that will appear on my double page spread.
Behind some of the headings I put a block colour behind them, I did this by using the 'rectangle box' tool. I did this just to give my magazine antoher effect.
I then went on to edit a barcode and add it into my magazine front cover. I have spoken about this below.
The last couple of bits i did was I added in the date of release of magazine and how much the magazine costs. I did this as you always see this on the front covers of magazines. It is a good way to inform the viewers.
The very last thing i did was I added in the magazines website. I did this in a red colour still in the same font but so it would stand out to the viewers eyes.. I then rotated it by using the 'rotate tool'.

I got all of the above ideas from the NME magazine that I spoke about in an earlier post. I have uploaded the NME cover which I got ideas from for my magazine:
