Main task: Magazine front cover drawn design and mock front cover design

For this task we will have to create a magazine font cover, before this I have made a drawn design of the  front cover, this will hopefully help me with the creation of my final front cover. By doing this I have discovered various things that I will and will not include in my final design. In my design I will keep the black and red layout because I believe that it gives the magazine a professional look. Also I will stay with the large model o the front of the magazine; this will help attract the reader and help draw them into the magazine. Once the hand drawn design was developed I then made my mock front cover.

Main task: Double page spread drawn design

For our magazine we have to create a double page spread and here I have made a hand drawn design, I will base this on my real double page spread where I will produce on the computer. The design has a few things that I will try to use in the creation of my real magazine double page spread, such as the large picture of the artist on one page of the spread, this I believe is a good effect because it helps the reader to establish a connection with the artist. Also the black and red writing layout will be used in my final design; these two colours go well together and give the magazine a professional look.
