BREAKDOWN OF FRONT COVER CONSTRUCTION

DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

Front Cover First Draft

After creating my first front cover design I was actually pretty satisfied, as it did achieve my expectations for my final front cover.

After analyzing my first draft I have concluded that this is actually what I want for my final front cover design, but since this is my first draft I have decided to make some changes or add something to the draft.

After analyzing the draft of the front cover I have chosen to add some article to the front cover and finish it up with it, as I have already achieved my goal in creating the front cover for my music magazine.

FRONT COVER FINAL DESIGNChanging my first front cover draft to my final front cover design resulted in me adding additional article heading the front cover, the article has been added in the bottom right corner of the front cover.

The front cover has achieved my expectations and this will be my final front cover design, as it is simple, yet complex, it represents the darkness and brightness of music.

The fonts that I used in creation of my front cover were different, due to this being music magazine, and therefore music does not respect the laws of literature and my decision was made, to break the rules and add additional fonts were they were needed. Although there are many different fonts on the front cover, I will stick to the rules and use three different fonts for my content page and double spread sheet article.

Content Page FinalI have spent a lot of time crating my content page, and I did try to achieve my desire from the first try, in which I have succeeded. I have include all of the articles from the front cover and added additional articles for the content page, the layout is simple with a large white stripe for the contents and red stripes for the main headings in the content page. The content page does have only three different fonts as planned.

The content page is made in a simple way, with all of the contents clearly show, and most important headings highlighted.

The background of the content page is gray, this I have decided because I couldn’t chose between black or white, so grey was the only option left. The guitar as the main image and its bright shadow attract much attention to them, since the shadow is not dark, its bright, breaking the rules once again.

Double Spread Article First Draft

My double spread article is about my main story from the front cover, a new uprising band from Serbia.

After creating my first draft I was partly satisfied, as it does look like I wanted it to look, but there is still something that needs to be there.

Double Spread Article FinalAfter reading through my double spread article and analyzing some more double spread articles form other music magazines, I have found what my double spread article was missing. A quote, something that they have said in the interview, that have significant meaning to it. After selecting the quote I read through the magazine one again and found word breaks.

After fixing all the word breaks I have finished with designing my final double spread article for my music magazine.
