Front Cover Planning

This is my front cover planning. I have had to plan the cover lines, the masthead, the selling line, the ‘interactivity’  and the house style/colours.

My main cover line will be ‘The Revolving Doors ENVY Exclusive’. This will go with a picture of the band, will be placed in the centre of the magazine and have the largest, boldest text to ensure it is the most eye catching part on the cover. This is what I want to use to draw in the reader.

The smaller cover lines will be scattered about across the page to go with the rock and indie genre. They will be:

- ‘Amy Newell: the biggest selling ROCK artist of 2012?’

- ‘Blurs Big comeback tour’

- ‘The top 10 bands of the decade’

- ‘Back to the ages of ROCK!’

- ‘The Maccabes’

The title of my magazine will be ‘ENVY’ and my selling line will be ‘You wont be green with ENVY’. I feel that this fits well with the rock/indie genre. Therefore I will use the colours green, black, white and grey to go with the selling line and the music genre.

The layout will be ‘messy’ but still readable, so that the reader is still drawn in by it and it fits with the music genre.  This will go though out my pages because it will bring my magazine together.
