1) Does the front cover represent the aim (to give information about....) and style (genre of music, design) of the intended music magazine?
I do not think that the music magazine does give out a lot of information about the genre of the music in this music magazine. I think the model in the main image could be holding a prop or doing a pose relating to the genre of music. For instance the genre of music is UK Dance, so the model could be posing in front of some mixing decks for example.
certain words of interest, for example, the word EXCLUSIVE and FREE.
I think the background is a little bit too light, more light than I hoped it would be. However when designing the background I did not want the background to be too dark and cover lines and the image not to stand out. I used a mixture of colour editing when making the background, mixing white with a very light shade of blue and grey. I wanted to get the colours to match.
7) Is there a barcode (with number underneath), date, price, and if appropriate, an issue number?
Yes, there is a barcode, issue and date, however no price, which will have to amended. The position of the barcode is at the bottom of the page, with the issue and date at the top underneath the masthead so that they can easily be read.
Have you realised your design intentions? (Does it look like what
you intended?)
Yes I have realised my design intentions and in some ways it looks like I intended. The layout of the magazine looks how I intended. The main image, masthead and cover lines are where I wanted them to be, however, I left too much space between them, everything should be closer and bunched together. The puff also, again, has lot of space and not enough detail.
