Today I started to create my front cover of my music magazine, Tuner. I chose to use the photo on the left because I liked the plain wall for a background, as I thought it wouldn't distract from the model herself or the text that will surround her; I also liked how there's an acoustic guitar in the shot, which clearly portrays the genre of her music and also reflects part of the genre of my magazine (indie/rock); another reason I chose to use this photo was because there is a nice amount of space in the top left corner, which is where the conventional music magazine puts their name.
Once I had opened the photo in photoshop I began to edit it further, using filters and adjusting the light and contrast.
I also added my masthead and used the brush tool on a separate layer, which I placed behind the masthead itself. On this layer I used the star brush tool, on 2500px, to make it look like spray paint. I made the editorial decision to do this using bright colours, as to add lighten up the page.
Above is a picture of the text I was planning to use for my artists name, as large lettering on the front cover. But after fiddling about with various effects on photoshop and attempting to edit it to have the desired look, I'm struggling to achieve this, so therefore, I may reconsider using this font.
These are other fonts I could use instead:
