We were assigned a task where we had to choose an existing magazine. Create a front cover in the style of your choice of magazine and we had to add codes and conventions. This had to be our own photography for the main image and the photography and text has to match the ‘ethos/philosophy’ of the magazine. Also this must include an analysis.
1st Step
This was my first step on completing my front cover. I have chosen Kerrang magazine for the theme and the masthead for my front cover. I have used its typical Masthead that it uses in all of its magazines. I have also used my own original photography and edited it myself. I have used monochrome styling in this photo as it contrasts between the Masthead which is also black and white. This makes it have a good effect on the front cover keeping to my own original styling. The photo is a medium shot of waist up. The photo itself shows us a clear indication that this person is a musician due to the fact you can see him performing, this is important because if you were not to see this you wouldn't know if he was a musician or not and ultimately you wouldn't know who the person was.
