Ideas For Front Cover.

This is my first rough sketch of my front cover. I like the way the name of the magazine will be bold and eye catching with the exclimation mark next to it, to make it that little bit stronger.
My main image is close up of Lady GaGa with her fingers and hand doing the 'Rocker' sign. Just by doing this sign it will appeal to the more indie/rock audience that i would like to read my magazine. Also her make-up will be very bright and eye catching so it draws attention to the magzine amongst all the other magazines that will be on the shelf.
The font of the main interview title will be bold with an exclimation mark next to it to match the name of the magazine. By having it at the bottom in large lettering it's like a sort of caption for the main image. Also by having the words 'Exclusive Interview' underneath means that the reader knows it's a real,new interview from Lady GaGa herself and in a way makes them want to read it more.Also on the front cover i put two other stories and pictures beside the main image. This also shows the reader the toher stories,interviews and reviews that will be in that weeks issue of the magazine.
I put a pug of the price on the top left hand conor so that it is visable amongst other magazines. By doing this the reader knows the cheap price of the magazine witout having to even pick it up.

For my second skecth i drew it alot more simple and less busy to see what it would look like, and i think it looks quiet boring and its not the look for my genre of music.
The main image is again a close up of Lady Gaga but just looking into the camera.
Instead of having the main articale headline in the middel or the bottom i decieded to see what it looks like down the side, and it doesnt look as nice as the other front cover above.
I drew the other headings and pictures on the bottomw right hand conor as thewy would be perfectly fitted into the gal of Lady GaGa's sholder and the Barcode. This is not my favirote front cover so im going to use the first front cover as it fits my Genre of music and is alot more eye cathing.
