It has taken me a long time to get everything perfect, considering I am such a perfectionist.
So for my cover lines, I ended up choosing:
- Exclusive! - Chloe White - opens up about her life changing year
- Inside - Free iTunes voucher
- 2016 Grammy Winners
- Win! - Tickets to V Festival
- Best new beauty hacks
- Star Style Steals
After deciding my cover lines I had to figure out where to place them, their colours, their sizes and their fonts.
Due to the headphones being red, white and blue, I decided to go for a red, white and blue colour scheme for my cover lines. I didn't want loads of cover lines because I didn't want it to look over crowded. I also didn't want the cover lines covering her face, so I have placed them further down the bottom of the page.
I then had to figure out the various fonts for the different cover lines. Overall, I have only used 2 fonts. In an earlier post, I posted a picture of 'Babas Kai', which is the font I used for the masthead, the date, the price, the website name, and all the main headings for the cover lines. I then had to go out and find another font that I could use, so that it wasn't all the same.
For my second font, I chose one from the website, "Dafont.com", called, "Steelfish"
I used this font for my cover lines under the main cover line headings.
Below is one of my cover lines, saying, "INSIDE - Free iTunes voucher". 'INSIDE', is the main cover line because it is the bigger one that grabs your attention. This is in the font of 'babas kai', whereas, 'free iTunes voucher' is in the font of 'steelfish' because it is smaller.
I then had to get a barcode, and write down the price, which was £3.50 UK, and 4.50 in Euros.
The last thing I had to do on my front cover was create a puff, which is used to promote something inside the magazine. My puff said, "Win tickets to V festival". The word "WIN", was coloured blue, "tickets to V festival", was in black writing, apart from the letter 'V', which was also in blue to match the word 'win'. The circle was white with a blue outline.
