Second front cover mock up

This is my second mock up front cover for my music magazine. I have created this in fireworks. I started off with putting my image into fireworks and I edited the picture. I have made the image brighter so that my text can stand out from the image. I then created the masthead. I decided to make half the text white and the other half black so that it has more effect on magazine. I enlarged the text so that it fits across the page and changed the spacing between the letters so that it is bold and clear. I then added a banner above my masthead. I used the colour pink so that it contrasts with the masthead and the background image. I then added a headline. The name 'Laura Cooksey' is in a large font because that is the main focus of the magazine and it is the first thing the audience will look at. Finally I added my coverlines. These are here to show my audience what is included in my magazine. I have made the text of the coverline big and bold so that it stands out to the audience. I have also used a contrast of colours so that there is a consistent colour scheme on my front cover of my music magazine. I have used these colours because they look suitable for my target audience. 

This is my third mock up front cover for my music magazine that I created in fireworks. First, I put my image onto fireworks. I made sharpened my image and made it brighter. After, I created the banner. I used a black banner and white text on top so that it is clear and stands out. Next I added the headline. I enlarged "Laura" so that it stands out on the page. I then added her last name 'Cooksey'. However I changed the colour of her last name that it contrasts with the white text. I also used a different font that it creates more effect. This font also makes the text italic. I then added the banner in the right hand corner and I then edited text on the banner. I used different colours with the banner so it shows a contrast. I have spoken about celebrities in the banner so I have enlarged the celebrities name so that it stands out to the audience.
