Magazine Cover Development 2

Here I have changed the background like I said I would and I think that with this background the ain image will stand out alot more and that I brings out the ian splash alot more.
I am now going to add the sub titles and then after that I wil add the picture. Things may variey but I dont see this changing a whole much more.

First develepment on front cover

Here is what I have got so far, I have taken that background and edited around with it. I have had some critism which are mostly that ecause it goes from light to dark it is hard to read coming to the end of the spalsh, so i'm going to try a diffrent background to see if that look better.

8th march 2011

Today I have tried to catch up with alot of work that I forgot to post. I have posted most of my research and ideas on to the blog, still got alittle bit or to do but should be ok. Made development on my magazine and should be ear finishing now.

Front cover 1st background Idea

My original idea for my front cover was to have the pic as the background aswell but these are just some ideas for my background. They are not 100% but just thought it wuld be a good idea to have some ideas just incase I change my mind.

I thought this would be a good background because it fllows the colours scheme I have chosen.

Colour Schemes

Here are a list of diffrenet colour schemes that I have ceated for which my magazine can folow by. I have chsen these colours on what I think a rock magazine most consits of.

I think I will be using either colour scheme 5, colour scheme 4 or colour scheme 2 as I think they will represent my rock magazine best.

Layout Ideas

Here I have created 3 diffrenet type of layouts that I could follow for my magazie layout. Here is the first on I have created, I think this would be great because it is nicely organised around the picture which would make my front cover look really proessional. Also it isn't to crowded so that it over taking the acctualy main image.

Here is the second layout I have made. I also like this layout as it doesn't over take or draw away any attention to the main image if anything it highlights the main image and in a rock magazine that is what I want and need.

Here is the third layout I have made and this one is so it focuses 100% on the main image. The main image will be a long shot of the band that is the main heading of the magazine. Also it is very organised with the sub heading just at the bottom of the page to the side of the image so the front cover will be alot more proffesional.

Magazine Names

Here are all the names that thought were suitable for my rock magazine. I tried to think of names which sounded heavy, nasty and some what rockish, this way the audience knew what the magazine was about. To help me decided what name I should have fr my magazine I tok a survey out of 20 people to see which one they liked best.
Here are the results of the survey I took:
Metal Destruction:5
Nightmare:7
Deathning:3
Louder:3
Destroyer:1
RnR:1
Chaos:0
The End:0

It is clearer that nightmare was the clear favourite that people wanted on my rock magazine. Since the audience picked this name I think it woud be ideol for me to have this title for my magazine.
