Planning: Front Cover Update I

Today I looked at multiple different magazine covers to try and get some ideas for my own. Though I have not really added too much onto it and I am still only doing the mast-head / top section of the page it is really starting to look proffesional and something consumers and my target audience would want to buy. Even simple little things like shapes, lines and altering colours can make a really big difference. Magazines like 'Rolling Stone' have been a very big influence. I'm trying to throw the themes of Kerrang and Rolling Stone into a blender to get the best of both worlds. Smart and simple, but also with that dar, gritty, hard rock edge.
