To see the kind of style i want for my cover I've decided to deconstruct an existing Indie music magazine.
the bands name is one of the most prominent texts on the page. Its central to the cover and is what primarily catches your eye.
the title of the magazine appears at the top of the magazine and is in a sans serif font. This is the least formal font and would be the font most familiar to the target readers.
the only burst on the page is in the shape of a pricing ticket and labels the magazine as free. This is in yellow and is the only easily identifiable colour on the page.
this is a banner at the top of the page and is simply band names split by a slash. This would maybe highlight some bands that are featured in this issue.
although you can't really see it very well this is the dateline which is underneath the title. Its states the issue date of the magazine as well as the internet site, letting people access the magazine on more than one medium.
the main image on the cover is of the band 'The Horrors'. They are standing so that all of their faces can be seen but some obstruct others bodies. The backgroud is a dark cloudy sky which seems to fit with the bands overall look. They seem quite scruffy which follows typical conventions of indie bands.
