1) choose a font and add the band name, I decided on using yellow as it really stood out against the Red background and was within my colour scheme.
2) I then added the footer to use to display the list of names of the bands avaiable inside the magazine.
3)I thought the area around the band name needed something more, so I decided to use 3 words that connect to the interview by the band and then added a border so they stand out and the matching colour (yellow) shows that the three words connect to the band 'Common Collective'.
4) I didnt like the colour of the original footer (black) as it just blended in with the image and wasnt
really visible, for this reason I changed its colour to blue as it was a nice block contrast to the red.
5) I added the skyline and decided to also colour that the same blue, so this looked nice as they complimented each other. I decided to put features in the magazine here as people usually read top to bottom therefore it has more chance of being seen. I decided to put this text in white as it was the colour that stood out the most on a blue background.
6) I then added my articles/features to the top right corner as I felt this area was a space needed to be filled. The font also stood out the most in white over the red background.
7) I thought the red text on the blue footer didnt stand out as much as I had hoped therefore I changed it to white as shown before it stood out the most and now fitted and complimented the other text on the cover as they are white.
8) Next I needed to add a plug, I have frequently seen a plug displayed over a circle and I liked this idea so I decided to use it. Following on the the white text theme I put "FREE CD" in white as a contrast to the black circle.
9) I then added the barcode and placed it at the bottom right hand corner as from research this is usually were the barcode is placed.
