My Music Front Cover magazine

 My music magazine  is a Hiphop and Dancehall music magazine, which i selected because  this is the kind of music that appeals to my interests. Not only this but  both  music genres hiphop and dancehall combine to enforce the rhythmic feel of freedom through dance and hard based sounds that are fast instrumental with different instruments such as piano,electric guitar, drums with the mixture of nature sounds or the heartbeat of a human being.

 The title of my magazine is WHINE UP which is a shorter way of verbally saying lets dance. Before i came to a final decision  of  the title WHINE UP i had generated several different names for my music magazine. these were  HEAVY ROTATION, IGNITE, SEEN, RAH BWOII, HOT WUK, FAB-WHINE. All these names suit the music genre Hiphop and Dancehall, however they are ad hormone titles meaning that they represent other meanings and may sound like other genres or give an image that goes away from
Hiphop or Dancheall music. Also these names are to common which is why i went for WHINE UP,  it is unusual and makes one think about  the tile which then makes it catchy to people because it is not an everyday phrase you here.

 The selling line RE-ENFORCE THE FUSION OF VIBES  stand out and relates to how we can all get back into the vibes that we tend to ignore looking through the the magazine. In other words the music magazine takes you away to the good time of fusion of vibes. My selling line is very simple using onomatopoeia  in fusion to emphasis the musical journey that readers would be taken through.

 My music magazine is a monthly magazine which is why the price is £3.90. Doing some ssecondary research on  prices in other monthly music magazines within the same music genre. They were priced at a minimum price of £4.50. For my music magazine pricing my magazine at £3.90 was suitable to my target audience of  C1 - C2 class.

For my background for my front cover using photoshop with a mixture of firework to create a urban based background, formulating shapes to create arrows and a black pattern. This made the yellow, black and white blend in with one another to make the front cover appealing and eye catching.

 My main image is a group of collage sixth formers who formed a band called IGNITION

 On the bottom of my main image i placed written illustrations of different artists that represent the music genre of hiphop and dancehall music and illustrations of what genre the music magazine is.

 The  most hardest part of making my front cover was that it was hard to mix and  match  colours so that they beond with one another ,while standing out and being eye catching and readable. Another aspect that was very difficlut about making my front cover of my music magazine  was that  gettign the right writing style that suited the music genre was very hard because the writing had to look unusual  than normal common day writing styles.
