Front Cover Progression

Firstly I started by putting in my background image. I chose this image as it is a main feature of the city of New York where my artist collaborated with another artist. This therefore represented this part of the article and also relates to the title of my magazine being as the city is being encorporated into the front page. I also placed my title across the top too attract the reader to the magazine. I decided to put the masthead as white as the colour theme for my magazine is red, black and white and as the masthead is along the top of the page could represent clouds above the city.

I then added my text and features. The features are listed along the left hand side of the magazine as I saw that rap magazines either had the features along the left or right. I positioned mine on the left so that I did not cover the image of the building. I added a drop shadow to the feature list too make it stand out more but not take away from the main article feature of my magazine.

Finally I changed the font of 'Travoir Palmer' to something that stands out more and makes his part seem more exclusive to the magazine because as you can see the first font I used looked childish and did not fit in with the theme of the magazine which is a more 'hard' approach.
