Work in progress: Splash and Coverlines

When producing my front cover, I thought the best place to position the splash outlining the main article would be in the middle of the page. This way, it catches the target audience's eye. Also, bold fonts emphasises the objective to draw the reader in. As I had already included a red font within the masthead of the magazine, I decided to use white and yellow fonts to differentiate the other components from the masthead; The yellow being a bright colour, with its purpose being used for sub-titles, whereas the white is a neutral colour, outlining the content inside. For my content, I used typical features included in other magazines, such as interviews, articles, concert guides, reviews, etc. Following the standard normality of other metal magazines, this will attract the same target audience as those who may read magazines such as 'Hammer' and 'Kerrang'.
