Sketching Front Cover

9th November

Today's lesson we sketched our ideas of what we want our music magazine to look like.
i wanted to keep mine simple and use a maximum of 3 colours as i prefer magazines to look effective and simple and not cluttered and busy. I want to use black and white and one other colour, i am not quite sure what i want the other colour to be like yet as it depends on what photograph i use for the front cover of my music magazine (festval magazine)
I want to use the layout of the Q magazine as inspiration as i find that they layout for each issue always look effective. They always keep it quite simple and use a limited amount of colours as the Q magazines are for an older audience as the bands that are usually listed on the front cover and in the audience are bands that have been around for a while, but they also have a few modern bands that fit into the same genre.
