Front Cover Digital Mock Up

I have recently submitted my front cover for my magazine, I forgot to submit my digital mock up using Publisher I completed a few days before I started my cover. Below is what I intended to do for my front cover.

Flat Line Front Cover

I have now completed the Front Cover to my magazine Flat line, below is the finished result.

I have spent over 2 hours working on this front cover and everything within this cover was done during this time, except the photos I took (Background image, sub heading image etc) where done another day and took around a hour to take.

the reason i went for this design is that when I did the logo it has black, white and green in it and I wanted to stick to that home colour style so most text and borders use the same colours as my logo. I believe this works very well especially with my black and white background I used.

The main headline which includes me as a already famous music artist working on a new msuic project with some new band members, I went with the name "Codename: Pr0j3kT" (Spelt and suppose to mean Codename: Project). I used a mixture of capitals, numbers and different letters that is suppose to reprsent the genre of the new band. Which will be a "Electronic Rock" band similar to Pendulum. I included only myself because I want this story to seem pretty much a secret because up untill the magazines release no one has heard of this upcoming band. And the magazine Flat Line are the only ones to get a insight of the story.

I followed my original concept very well (Check older Posts) and added new things along the way as well as got rid of some previous ideas, like in my previous draft I was originaly intending to include text featuring the magazine number under the title, but I got rid of this because it would interfere with my background. New content I have added can be seen under the main headline which gives further insight of the main story.

I feel very impressed with my final product and plan to do a full evaluation once I have completed all my other work.

Please leave feedback on what you think of my front cover.

Magazine Ftont Cover, Contents and Double Page rough drafts

Over the last few days I have came up with rough hand drawn drafts for my Music Magzine, below are each scanned copies of my hand drawn drafts I apologise for the quality.

This is the front cover for my Music Magazine "Flat Line". This front cover is a rough layout draft of where I will put the content of my magazines front cover.


I have based this design on some of the previous magazines I have slooked at (Check earlier posts), such as the italic shaopes and placed contents such as title, logo, images etc. I still do not know what the manin background image and storys will be included in my magazine as well as some addition font sizes, fonts, colours etc. But I will make sure to use this as a template for my future work.

This is the contents page for my magazine, I have reasearched othher magazines to come up with ideas for my contents page.


This contents page will share a lot of same features as the contents page such as the italic fonts style and layout, I intend to use this for most of my content within this page. I feel rpetty pelased with this but when I create the finalr esult I believe the magazine's content page will look a bit different then this.

This is my double page spread layout for my music magazine, I have placed a long dotted line going down the page which is suppose to represent the two pages.

Inside these pages will be a lot of similar fonts and sizes used in ropevious pages, but I intent to change a lot of style when it comes to the band/singer interview, I am also going to be using italic likes tyle once again. I have placed a sub story under the main image of this page which will act as a "Interviews impression" or other bands members talking and include images.
