Main Image Ideas

for my main image i am going to try and re-create something like this cover:

 

• My image will be portrait so it takes up the whole cover page and if i took it landscape then i would have to squeeze it into an A4 page which wouldn't look good.
• The main image on my front cover will be a head shot/close up of the artist and i will use the fan effect so her hair is blowing around.
• I will put my image in colour because i feel that it would draw more people in and would look better than black and white.

• My Front Cover will have the masthead in the left hand corner. 
• The main colours on the front cover of my magazine will depend on which colours i use in my main image.
• My main coverline will be the name of the artist and what the inside story is about-(my two page spread)
• my other cover lines will be based around different things that will interest people like new releases from different artists, different concerts coming up and interviews with other artists.

Today i created a Questionnaire to hand around the class for them to fill out which would help me get an idea of what to do for my magazine.

here is the questionnaire that i created:

After i got all of my questionnaires back i then made a results table to show me what others in my class think i should do.
