2nd Preliminary Cover Mock Up - Final

Here is my second mock up of a front cover for my school magazine, I have received the feedback for this magazine cover and have discovered that it is what most people like, so I am going to use this as the final copy for my preliminary task magazine cover.

My First Preliminary Mock Up

This is my first mock up of my preliminary school magazine which I have asked 8 people about how I can improve what I have done so far.
Most of the answers have been to fill in all of the empty spaces that are around on the page also that I need to change the fonts on the splashes to make a difference to the cover. By doing this it would look more sophisticated and alot more attractive apparently.

Here is the main research into how school magazines structure their front covers and their contents pages to make them look very effective. Enjoy XD

My Magazine Genre Covers

This is an image that relates to my chosen genre of music magazine, which in this case is a heavy metal based magazine. These magazines include the famous titles of Kerrang and Metal Hammer. I will look to make my magazine resemble something of this style for example a whole medium shot of the band or a close up on their faces as in the Slipknot Metal Hammer issue which is the image of the Jesus looking Joey Jordison (drummer) This is a dark and mysterious magazine where he does not reveal what he actually looks like. Also there are many dark magazines however most of them actually have the band on them where you can see their faces.
