Hand Drawn Draft (Front Cover)

I tired to make my front cover appealing, by making it seem like it was full of energy. I will do this with the use of the magazine name 'Pulse' begin made to look like a lighting flash, giving the representation of a fast, quick and alive genre of music. On the other hand the logo of the magazine (which will be throughout the magazine) is a simple coloured block with the effects of a heart monitor going through it. This represents the heart beat of the target audience, it shows that is their hearts are beating quite fast, again showing the speed of the music, however also showing their love for the music.

The main image will be on the left hand side of the page, however to add impact is may be changed to feature across the page. The image will show the male model looking away, contrasting to the female model looking directly at the camera. This again show her confidence, on the other hand with the male model looking away from the camera it also enhances the effect of dominance. Both models will be dress very formal and in the same colour, to show that they are connected but, disengaged at the same time (with the aspect of dominance).

The cover line are in the same text as the mast head, however will have slight differences to add an aspect of energy again to the magazine. On the other hand the main cover line, will be stretched across the page giving the impression it is the main focus of the magazine. I decided that background would be a dark colour, such as purple or blue, however it may not contrast well with the use of black on my models. On the other hand it may work better as my cover lines and main cover line (showing the new artist) will be bright vibrant colours. I will try to recreate the feel of a nightclub, with the use of colour on the front. I will do this with the use of a dark background and light colours. The price of my magazine is at the bottom along with date of issue.
