Mock front cover!

This is a first attempt of a front cover for my music magazine. Once i had finished my research and planning I new what i wanted in the magazine so the content was easy to decide on however there were a few problems with this font cover.

Due to copy right infringments i could not use the image on the right of rihanna, this caused a problem because i did not know what to use to fill the space here.

I was also quite unhappy with the overall layout of the front cover:

• The page seems to look like more of a leaflet then a front cover to a music magazine.
• I like the main images but i this the backfround is too bland and boring i dont feel and audience would be that attracted to it.
• I didn't feel that this was what i was looking for in a front cover yet it did help me to decide what i wanted and what i needed to change.

So once i had established the pro's and con's of this i was ready to make my final front cover.
