Final front cover

This is my final front page of my magazine called Federation.

The masthead of my magazine is done in bold black rounded lettering with white specks on it. I decided to to it like this so it connotates with the dark nights and bright lights of clubs.

Underneith this I have done a plug of other things in the magazine, both of these have free or chances of winning something. I decided to do this because it is a technique used by magazine industries to draw people to buy the magazine.

My background image is one I had taken on a night out from a high view onto the dance floor. Because my picture got blurred and the light quality was dark, the entire picture came out with a pink glow to it. I had decided to blur this more on photoshop to create the look of the night being busy and full of life. I had decided to use this as a background picture as I felt it tied in with my best of 2008 theme that everyone has been involved in the decision making of the best of 2008, making the reader feel involved and that they have a say.

My main Best of 08 text has been filled in with a image that I have taken of CDs. By putting this image in the text this shows the variety involved in the chart and that lots of thought has been taken into account. Also underneith, I have a plug linking in with the chart and my double page spread listing what the chart also includes. This draws the reader in and makes them want to buy the magazine to read whats inside.

I also have a plug done on the right hand side of my magazine done on a white background to show that it doesnt link in with the best of o8 feature. On this I have used an image of the Hed kandi logo and CD that I have cut the background out of on photoshop. This is so the background of the images are not included and the photos look more proffesional and something that would be featured in a magzine.
