My Music Magazine Front Cover Draft 1

Initially, my model was going to be Maddie McDonald however our schedules conflicted a lot and there seemed to be no appropriate amount of time for us to carry out a successful photo-shoot for a cover, DPS and some for the contents page. This led to a change in model and I am now going to photograph Emily Britcliffe as my main model.

This is the first draft of my music magazine front cover, I tried to adhere to my plan as much as I could. I decided that I don't know if I like the colour of the background boxes along the side as it doesn't look as good with the red in the masthead (which I think looks really effective) as i imagined it would. I want to experiment with different colours here to find what looks best, I will try all the colours suggested by my target audience that they said they would like to see on a front cover. The writing at the bottom which shows the feature article looked rather plain in comparison to the rest of the page so I feel like it needed something adding to it, i added a red shadowing like in the masthead.
