Potential Cover Layout

After carrying out research into what would make a good music magazine cover, we put all of our concluded findings together to create a potential layout for Fuse magazine's cover, to give us a rough indicator of how our magazine is to turn out, and whether our house-style is conventional but also has a unique aspect to it, to establish Fuse Magazine as a brand name. 

As shown by the layout that we have constructed, our music magazine will be conforming to the conventions typical of that genre, in terms of the use of contrasting colours, and the way that the logo is to be presented to the audience. 

This cover layout was also pitched to a group of young people, to recognise how our target audience would react to such a layout. We we received positive feedback,with young people saying that they liked the contrast of blue and red, and how the logo really ties all aspects of the magazine together. Although this is so, we need to think about the image on the cover quite specifically, and how we will present this on the page, so the image does not clash with the colours. 

Despite this, this mock-up will be used as a generic outline for our magazine cover.
