Front cover planning

What I want for my front cover:

House style- The colours I have chosen for my magazine are Red and Silver I have chosen these colours because they refer back to my style models. Although my target audience is mainly teenagers but I still want it to look sophisticated as it's not aimed at young teenagers but more older teenagers into young adults.

Shot-I want an up close shot that shows attitude and stands out to the target audience.


Cover Lines- After i've wrote the main title to go with the pictures I will then want to add extra little stories about things, for instance I will write stuff about other Artists and a tiny snippet of what's going to be in the story.


Selling Line- I will use a selling line which will be on all magazines usually and it will be something like. 'UKS top music magazine.'


Barcode and Issue Date- I will have a barcode possibly at the top of my magazine with the issue date and the price next to it. I think it's much easier when the barcode is on the front of the magazine with the price because if someones looking at your magazine in the shop and they can't see the price they might be put off buying it.


Masthead- The masthead is veyr important as It's what the target audience remember, The title of my music magazine is yet decided but I have two names 'Sound Splash' and 'Listen' I think the more likely one i'll choose is Listen.
