front cover design analysis



this is the design for the front cover of my magazine, the page will be covered in a picture of somebody wearing a biker helmet and leather jacket, this will represent daft punk as this is their attire, seeing a popular and familiar person/artist will attract attention and my questionnaire shows that people prefer to see artists/bands that they know and are familiar with, this therefore will be a good image and will meet that criteria 
the masthead was voted best, and with it i have put the colour scheme black and gold as the gold contrasts against the black background and also implies the idea of "the golden days". underneath i have placed a slogan "the home of reminiscence" this indicates the genre and theme of the magazine.
the majority of votes asked for a large close-up to cover the page leaving leaving the rest relatively clear, so i have put the caption denoting the image at the very bottom in the house theme, and another small story at the top above the main image, this is meant to entice the reader and show that there is plenty more inside
the language i have used in the denotations uses a lot of puns, including the bands song names, in hope that these jokes ill suit the readers humour and give them an incentive to purchase the magazine
