Mock up of Front Cover

Drawing a mock up of the way I want my magazine to look will give me a vague idea of how it will turn out in the end. By previously researching on current magazines of all genre's, it's obvious to see that the main image of the artist/model is set in the middle, therefore by doing the same I will be achieving the conventions of a music magazine. In addition, I have also drawn a strapline, subheadings, a mast head, barcode etc that I will add to my front cover to give of the feel and look of any magazine. By making each of the features interesting to read such  using lexical words like 'exclusive interview' for a subheading will persuade readers to purchase my music magazine because it will seem like there's no other!
