Finished Front Cover

Here is an image of my finished front cover, I decided to call my magazine Hustle which is across the top of the magazine. The font i used for the name of the magazine best suited the genre (Rap) in my opinion as it sharp and unique which represents the genre well. It is also very eye catching because of the yellow colour and the style of the font.

Above the masthead is the price and date the magazine was isued, the reason this is in smalle font is because it does not need to take up much space. Slightly below the masthead is the website for the magazine.

The articles around the sides of the main image are inspired from other magazine such as VIBE which is my main inspiration. Using different fonts and sizes for specific parts shows that some articles are more important or more exclusive than others.

 

The main article is placed in the centre of the magazine in large text to ensure it stands out from the rest so the reader knows that this is the main article. By being in the centre it is made clear that this article is related to the main image.

 

I also placed a bar code in the bottom left hand corner, because this is where they are commonly found.

 

My house style is red,white and yellow. This is because it stands out well on the background and shows the importance of certain aticles. It is also eye catching and gets the readers attention. I was careful when placing certain colours as in some places they could not be seen clearly and would take away the eye catching effect.
