My Magazine front cover

Front cover magazine screenshot progress

 This is my screenshot progress. firstly, i uploaded my picture onto Photoshop under file name My magazine. and then saved the file size as 300.I changed a lot of features on my magazine. One of the features that i changed was the font of the Masthead. It took me a while to find the right font that would reflect my music genre and stand out.

Then i changed the colour of the background and tried a range of contrasts on my phone to see what looked the best and the most professional for a magazine. In the end i decided to use the light contrast because the model looked more bright and appealing.

Progress

This is the results from my questionnaire and shows that 90% of the 20 people i asked liked the name XVIBE for my magazine name. It also shows my results for how much my target audience would pay for my magazine and they all said they would pay between £3.00-£4.00 because its a monthly issue.

I could buy this name for my website. the website i went on for this is called 123reg.com

My front cover photos

For my front cover, I decided to take some photos of my friend Jerome Blaire because i believed he was a great match for my magazine genre. I really like his style because it reflects the Rn B theme.
I took the photos at my old school because i was allowed access in the media room and to the equipment and help needed by my old teacher.

I originally took 19 photos however they were all the same pose as that was the pose i want for my front cover. So i changed the colour gradient of the background.
For my photos i used a Canon EOS 700D. I created different filters to create effect. 
On the bottom there are 4 random photos i took of my friends when i was in London. I have used them because they are images i was going to use for the front cover so i thought i would include them.
