This is my final front cover, I decided to go with the name 'flex' this is because the genre of the magazine is dance music therefore i thought that 'flex' was well suited with the genre. I also think it sounds modern and upbeat.
For my masthead I used the colour black I did this because I wanted it to be bold against the light yellow background of the picture, therefore if I had used a bright colour for the masthead it would have not stood out as much. The font I used for the masthead is from the website dafont.com it is almost a retro look and the font is often featured on posters for clubs etc therefore I took this into account. I also used the colour black for my main headline for the same reason that it will appear bold, I also gathered the font from dafont.com, I think the font I picked for the main headline looks stylish which I wanted as I think it is well suited to the main image.
For the main image I deliberately made my model be pictured holding headphones as this represents music, and the reader immediately knows it is a music magazine. I also dressed her in colourful, stylish clothing and jewellry as I wanted to represent the female artist as modern and stylish which I think is important, I also added extentions to her hair because many female artists today are pictured wearing them aswel as styling her hair I also applied colourful make-up as this would make the picture stand out even more and it could also represent the magazine as bright and original.
The writing underneath the main headline is describing in several words what to expect in the article, I used modern informal language as this would appeal more to the target audience I am appealing to, I also used pink colours this is because when I was researching dance music magazines the many of the texts and articles used yellow, orange, pink colours as this often represents the type of music therefore I took this into account when choosing the colours.
Down the left handside of the magazine I displayed a made up website for the magazine I did this because it makes the magazine appear more realistic. As you can see the main image of the front cover is of my female artist 'miss DuBoi' I wanted the name of my female artist to be original which I think I have. My magazine is a monthly magazine as I think it would be more successful if it was, I also chose a reasonable price of £2.95 I think is not to expensive or to cheap.
