Below are a variety of screenshots taken from my magazine front cover and contents page.
Title - For the title of my magazine 'Thrash', i decided to use a bold and grungy styled font which is called Farcry, as i feel it is very similar to Kerrang, as i feel this is very eye-catching and suits the genre of the magazine.Setting/Location - For my photo, on the front cover i used the colleges studio as the plain white backround was very easy to create into a dark backround using photoshop. As my chosen text colours are well suited to dark colours.
People - For my 'poster' photos, i used pictures which were took at a concert. Which is very similar to NME's choice of photos, which adds a more genuine look to the front cover.
Layout - I decided to make my front cover very similar to the style of Kerrang magazine. As i feel it is the most eye-catching and creative. Some ideas i used, was to bring the title to the back which made the person on the front cover stand out more. I also placed the list of bands featured in the magazine in a 'plus' section at the bottom of the page.
Music Genre - My magazine showcases a rock/metal sytle of music, which Kerrang chooses to show. The way the magazine suggests the genre is by the Title 'Trash' which suggest a heavy metal genre of music. Also on the front cover it mentions the download festival, which is a well know rock/metal festival in the U.K.
Costume - For the main photo on the front cover, i tried to gain a more casual look, in which i used a grey hoodie and jeans. Which i thought was quite similar to this Kerrang front cover.
