Music Magazine Cover Production

This is the front cover of the magazine without the picture.

The masthead 'Blur' is written in Pristina font and is size 36 and then has been stretched to make it bigger. I used a shade of blue and black for the title. The main cover line 'Ruby Daze' is in times new roman font and is size 66, this has not been stretched as it fits perfectly in the middle of the page. Ruby Daze is used in two shades of blue, light and navy. The 'exclusive interview' cover line below Ruby Daze is again done in times new roman and is size 20. This has been stretched to make it bigger than 20 but smaller than the Ruby Daze cover line. 'The Cutouts win surface festival' cover line is written in the font ariel black and is size 24, the font has been stretched to make bigger and wider to fit the page. Again this is done in two shades of blue, light and navy. 'Gig Reviews' cover line is done in ariel black and is size 28. The cover line has been stretched to make it look bigger on the page, as gig reviews is important to the magazine. This is has the navy and light blue shades to the letters. 'Split festival kicks off in sunderland' is done in ariel black font and is size 24. This text has been stretched to fit in the bottom right hand side of the page. All of the text on the front cover is done in two shades of blue. Navy and light. The bar code is placed in the bottom left hand side of the page in the corner. The price and issue number is positioned at the top right hand side of the page in times new roman font, and is size 18.

This is the front cover without any changes to the photo! The only change that has been made is that the photo has been enlarged. I decided that the background of the photo was far too dull for the type of magazine that it is.

This is the finished front cover.
