Magazine Front Cover

Just some hints and pointers...

1) Choose a name for your magazine. Ensure that it really says something about your magazine and the potential reader. 1001fonts.com is a really useful website for creating your magazine title font and any other fonts on the front cover. Make sure that you have a reason for choosing the font...

2) Central Image: This should be carefully planned. Think about who you are going to place as your central image. How will they be represented and how will this reflect on your magazine's image? Think about the composition of the shot. Think about camera shot, angle, and all aspects of mise-en-scene. REMEMBER - you will need shots of this person/people for the main article so think ahead before you organise your photoshoot. Take at least 15 images that you can choose from.

3) Anchorage Text: This should anchor meaning in the image that you have chosen.

4) This is the first issue of your magazine. How will you attract the new audience to your magazine? Do you have a unique selling point?
