Progression

My decision for my front cover main image.

These were all options for my front cover due to the direct address made by the photographer. 

I have started editing two of the three photos which may feature on my front cover. I am going to choose the first image due to the makeup used represents my genre as it reflects darkness by binary opposites, also it doesn't require me to edit another background between the main image as it doesn't have different textures and materials, plus the second image has objects in the far left which could be cropped.

Final Draft

This is my finally front cover which I create through taking feedback on board from my teacher and fellow media students, I was instructed to have my emphasis on the "The crow" and with the band/artists names so the audience can easily identify who will be featured in the magazine which will will attract the consumers. Furthermore, I used binary opposites to also highlight the artists name like Paul Gray which leads the audience to see the importance of that artist in the music industry and in my magazine.

Draft 2

This is my second draft and I have altered the text sizes and fonts and the model picture I use on the front cover. I also created a new pug for my front cover to attract the audience.

Draft 1

This is my first draft of my music magazine.

What is kerning?

Kerning is the process of adjusting the spacing between characters in aproportional font, usually to achieve a visually pleasing result. Kerning adjusts the space between individual letter forms, while editing the different letters in which is highlighted.
