Front Cover Features

Since the front cover was hardly going to have features such as graphics due to the age group to make it seem less young teenish, I decided to add a few red lines and a plus sign to the magazine as the graphics as I didn't want to over do it due to the age range which was around 16-20. In this image you would see where these graphics have been placed to make it seem reasonable and more formal for the genre hence why I didn't want to add graphics such as stars etc due to that making it more hip hop/pop.

When using the lines in the front cover, I duplicated the layers to keep it a precise length rather than making it odd lengths, after that I managed to line out the text from each side to keep it in shape and together. I also added a price tag and lined out the bar code to the side as planned from the final draft plan as it's located on the bottom right page of the front cover. I used the price "2.99" due to business marketing schemes as it looks more effective and appealing that "3.00" putting thoughts into the consumers mind by making it look cheaper although it's a penny short. Also this price range was selected by the target audience which most would purchase it by.
