Front Cover Features

All magazines use barcodes, so I used a barcode to make my magazine look more realistic.

I've used alliteration on the front cover to make it look more interesting and this attracts an audience as it is bold and stands out. More people will want to read it. As you can see from above, I've uploaded various features which I put on the front cover of my music magazine. The barcode was the first feature I put on the front cover, as it is vital that every music magazine has one. Also I put some graphics on the front cover to make my magazine stand out a bit more, because I felt that it looked a bit dull before and researched various indie pop magazines and they use graphics. This is beneficial for me because that is the genre I am focusing upon to meet my brief. Also putting black boxes around some of the text allowed my magazine to stand out a bit more as this creates a sense of boldness and  can look quite different which I was going for as this is an aspect of the indie pop genre.
