This is one of my final drafting stages, I am putting in some sell lines.

I have decided that the red box around the masthead will only be visible on the bottom so i'll change the size out of the printable area.

I have ammended some of the colours to go with what my audience wanted, it looks more mature and aimed at a more music minded persom.

This is another printscreen of me drafting my foront cover, it shows the new masthead, the name was one that was suggested in my audience research questionnaires, it gives the right connotations of the music that will be included.

This is a printscreen of the drafting stage of my main task front cover, i need to come up with a new masthead as mine did not have enough connotations of the music scene and was to generic to give any real meaning to what I was trying to create.
  The second thing I need to do is to come up with some catchy sell lines to get my target readers attention, plus I need to think of my main sell line that will relate to my front cover image.

This is the finished front cover for my preliminary task.

These are the first photos for my front cover, I have to decide which one looks best....?

This is the front cover image fot my preliminary task and has been edited, i will also be editing my main cover photo as well, which i took today and will upload.

Questionnaires

I have just got my questionaires back and sorted through the data and will sort it out into graphs to assess what my target audience wants, most of them wanted a female solo artist on the front cover so i will take the photo accordingly.
My pencil sketches are coming along nicely and need to research fonts and logo design on Dafont and add my housestyle colour (decided by my target audience) the majority wanted blue in there somewhere so i will use blue, black and white so it does not seem to garish but also has enough colour to make people want to buy it.

just got all my questionairres ack and am going to put a copy on here soon :)
