Front Cover - First Drafts

First Drafts

Since I took my images I have been trying different editing techniques and some of the results came out pretty well.

This image is for the cover, the mast head has been layered and has different effects to make it stand out over the main image. I have used a layered filtered effect on the image itself to make it look warmer and i blurred the edges to make it look softer and less edgy. The font used for 'Abbie McGrath' adds a lot more of a vintage, broken effect to the image and it also stands out as a bold white.

This image is also for the cover, I have used a layered filtered effect on the image itself to make it look warmer and i blurred the edges to make it look softer and less edgy. The masthead on this variation has no effect and is un-eddited. The tag line 'Music that makes your day a little brighter' is in a cursive font which makes the magazine look a lot smarter and it is the same front used for the word 'Abbie' that sits at the bottom of the page.

Today I planned to take my photographs, so with some preparation I booked out my school hall as it had a white background with is easy to edit things in and out.

This was our set and props; 

 

Theses are all of the photographs I have taken using the rule of thirds, I had my model wear three different outfits so we had a different selection of photo's and poses.

(Thanks to Abbie McGrath for modeling)

These are some close up's which have inspired my cover for my magazine.

I shall try different poses, until I find the right one for my genre and magazine style.

In the background of my main cover image I will have a selection of different band posters, e.g.

 This is just to fill up the gaps with other bands my magazine covers..

But obviously this would have an main cover image over the background.
