Front Cover Mock Ups

This is mock up has become the basic ground work of my finished design. Aspects from it which work well are The large mastheads and the simple cover lines. I have continued to use these in my final piece bu I have adapted them to create a better look.

This mock up did not turn out as well as the previous one. Parts of this mock up that I don't feel worked well are the to larger image and the Masthead that is to small. On my final piece to counter this I will improve the final image by resizing it appropriately and I will make the Masthead larger. Secondly I do not think the guitar works well. I drew round it to try and help align it along with the same cartoon style font I have used for my Masthead and the Rory Galvenez. Instead I managed to make the impression that I had drawn the guitar from scratch.

Points on this mock up that i like are limited to the banner that runs along the bottom; I like the colour used and the black and white image, I will try and use this in my final work. The rest of the mock up does not work well as I have used to many fonts and to many different sizes. The Cover lines are not set out in a structured manner and therefore it looks unprofessional. Lastly I do not like the Masthead design. It did not turn out as well as I had hoped, I will try and use a better design for my final piece.

The one on the left is my attempt to copy the Q magazine featuring Brandon Flowers. I like the Slanted writing and the list of artists placed on the front cover.
